Currently, connections have been established between the Northwest Drive office, the Plainville Business Center and The Connecticut Clearinghouse. This technology also prevents unauthorized individuals from entering the network while making the Internet available to both satellite sites. The Northwest Village School computer system has also been upgraded to allow students and staff access to the Internet.
Website filtering software is in use to assure students have access solely to appropriate sites.
In the next phase of the WAN development, MIS will continue with plans to upgrade the connections of other satellite offices to the main clinic system. The first distribution to Wheeler Clinic from the Dennis Keenan Fund is being used for professional development for staff of the Northwest Village School, Wheeler Clinic's special education facility.
