Deerwood Technologies provides redundant wireless to metro hospitals with use of Nextera’s WiMax technology.

Within a healthcare enterprise, each department has its own specialized needs, and hospital professionals — physicians, nurses, lab pathologists, X-ray technicians, respiratory therapists, and administrators — also have their specific requirements, work environment and preferred tools.  To maximize the effectiveness of a wireless system, it is critical to build a reliable multipurpose infrastructure that includes full redundancy. By partnering with Nextera we can provide their secure wireless solution to our metro hospitals and clinics. Not only are we helping our clients meet compliance needs but also providing them with the peace of mind knowing that should their wireless network infrastructure need to become their primary network, patient flow and care will not be affected.

Deerwood Technologies Projects Growth and Expansion

Deerwood Technologies has purchased the historic former "Deerwood Supermarket" located at 21301 Archibald Road, Deerwood, Minnesota to support their rapid growth and additional full-time staff.

Deerwood Technologies has occupied a portion of the building since 2007. In less than four years, they've grown to their present complement of eight full-time employees. With continued growth forecast they have plans to add three additional professional full-time employees in the near future. By 2015, they project a total of 15-20 full-time employees in a variety of technical, engineering, consulting, service delivery, sales/marketing, and general business roles.

With existing and potential employees already rooted in the area, many of their prospective hires view relocating families here as an attractive benefit. Consequently, purchasing the landmark building was an easy choice.
