Tenera Care Architecture Scalability & Security Review$40.9Kvalue2021start2022end

Geonavo has started commercializing our TeneraCare(™) nurse call system with great success. As a first step in our longer term growth plan we intend to do an in-depth review of the existing system to determine the main issues to be dealt with in the areas of scalability and security. In addition to the review itself, small scale tests and prototype deployments will be created to validate the results of the review, culminating in a complete small-scale end-to-end deployment that will act as a test bed for future development.
