In modern healthcare, latency defines credibility. In telesurgery the thresholds are well documented: 200–300 milliseconds already compromise precision, and at 500 ms the margin for safe operation disappears. These figures are not margins for engineers, they are thresholds for boards and investors because they expose the limits of current infrastructures.

Hospitals in Europe and North America encounter them every day. Imaging systems load networks with gigabytes per session, encrypted health records compete for bandwidth, and urban emergency units experience delays of 500–700 ms in transmitting patient data during peak hours. Each delay reshapes outcomes: a longer procedure, a slower response, an extended recovery.

Patients register these delays as trust. Confidence in an institution rises when care is seamless, and confidence is directly reflected in satisfaction scores, referrals, and loyalty. The economic consequence follows naturally: stronger satisfaction improves the stability of reimbursements, and positive outcome data reinforces institutional reputation.

Investors read the same signals differently. For them, the ability to maintain resilience under network stress becomes an indicator of governance quality. Organisations that demonstrate control of latency demonstrate control of risk, and risk control improves access to capital and alliances.

The most pragmatic lever available today is edge AI. Processing data locally reduces dependency on unstable infrastructure, extends the lifecycle of certified hardware, and secures compliance with regulatory expectations. More importantly, it aligns three priorities: safer patients, stronger institutional reputation, and a more attractive profile for investors.

At DSEI 2025, Polomarconi will present Italian communications systems designed for these realities, enhanced in partnership with our partner MakarenaLabs , AI engineering teams certified by AMD and Microchip. Intelligence is integrated into the signal path itself, enabling continuity where distance and congestion cannot be tolerated.

WOM Studio shapes this initiative so that innovation is recognised as a strategic strength measured in trust, continuity, and long-term value. Engage with a pioneering approach to mission-critical communications at DSEI 2025, Stand S6-104, or request a private meeting at www.wom.digital
