Clinical teams are facing increasing demands to perform more consistently and efficiently in delivering improved health outcomes. Hospital management team in Korea face difficulties in complex routine task for nurse, which result in workforce burnout, fatigue, foot and hip ailments from the necessary walking during a single shift on corridors as questionnaire suggested.

Most of telecommunication traffic (voice and data) around the globe is carried over the optical fiber cable. The international traffic through various countries is carried over optical fiber cables laid under the sea. Similarly the long-haul traffic within the country is through optical fiber laid underground. Stress, strain, humidity, temperature, bending at acute angles affects the propagation of light energy in the optical fiber cable. All such factors increase the optical loss and attenuate the signal. The attenuation, especially in the long-haul communication increases the bit error rate and degrades the quality of service. In this paper, different optical losses are analyzed by setting up several experiments at a single mode optical fiber spool of 4 km. The optical fiber segment was subjected to various stress, temperatures and acute bending conditions. The resulting losses and degradation of the signal was measured using OTDR and Power meter.

The outcome of this research work is focused on optimized the design of wireless link for an FPGA based Remote Terminal Unit (RTU). A situation representing multiple RTUs communicating with one Telecontrol Interface (TCI) developed to address optimized implementation of wireless SCADA. It was then further verified by means of benchmarking. The hardware implementation and verification of this particular RTU design has been done using a starter kit based on XILINX Spartan-3 Series FPGA with 500K logic gates and MHX-2400 frequencyhopping 2.4 GHz spread-spectrum communications module which is used as Telecontrol Interface. The FPGA based RTU is flexible in terms of I/Os, CPU and radio related configurations and any expansion in design can be accommodated quickly if needed as FPGA based designs are reconfigurable. However, the integration of MHX-2400 had been examined and found suitable as Telecontrol Interface for this development.
