Abstract
Systems and methods to provide an ultrasound scanner that supports handset wireless network connectivity are described. An ultrasound scanner includes a transducer system that generates, as part of an ultrasound examination, ultrasound data based on reflections of ultrasound signals transmitted by the transducer system. The ultrasound scanner includes a first transceiver that communicates, over a first communication link, the ultrasound data to a display device that displays an ultrasound image based on the ultrasound data. The ultrasound scanner includes one or more additional transceivers that communicate, over a one or more additional communication links and simultaneously with the first transceiver communicating the ultrasound data over the first communication link, the ultrasound data through an access point of a care facility administering the ultrasound examination.
