The Site~Rite
®
8 Ultrasound System incorporates a standard IEEE 802.11 b/g/n transceiver to provide a wireless Ethernet
connection to DICOM servers and network PC’s. This connection can be used for archiving data. Bluetooth™ capabilities
are also included for wireless pairing to approved accessories. The Cue™ Activator contains an RFID reader.

Quality of Service (QoS)
Since the Site~Rite
®
8 Ultrasound System uses WLAN to transmit patient data to a DICOM system and does not relate to
real-time scanning operations, these communications are on a best-efforts basis, where other data on the network may be
given higher priority if there is a bandwidth conflict.
Quality of Service (QoS) – Wireless Ethernet
The wireless Ethernet on the Site~Rite
®
8 Ultrasound System operates as a best-efforts device, as it does not directly
involve or interfere with active scanning. As such, it does not require a formal QoS WLAN. If used on a QoS network, its
transmitted data may receive a lower priority than video or voice that is also transmitted on the same network. The
following table provides recommended metrics to achieve a high level of performance from the Site~Rite
