Time Warner Telecom was awarded a five-year contract to deliver local metro Ethernet data services to HCA/HealthONE in Denver. The service will enable HealthONE to establish a virtual private network between six of its hospitals in the Denver metro area for data communications and dedicated Internet access. The health care provider’s Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) uses large image files of up to 100 MB in size, such as a magnetic resonance L-Spine image. The new network increases capacity by 10-fold. Financial terms were not disclosed.

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Ethernet. Here is what it replaced:
Token Bus (802.4) served 1982–1990. What ultimately replaced it?
Token Bus (802.4) formed a logical token-passing ring over a physical coax bus, so factory-floor stations got deterministic, collision-free access (favored by GM's MAP initiative). Its job passed to Ethernet — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
