Abstract :
The Wyoming Network for Telehealth (WyNETTE) is a statewide network providing the infrastructure to support the delivery of health care to rural/frontier, underserved communities in the US state of Wyoming. The network connects 40 sites in the state through an ATM cloud to a collection point that connects the network to Internet 2. The primary focus of the network development is the delivery of behavioral health, although other applications are supported.
