Abstract

Examples described herein may include a surgical computing device that directs data communications to surgical networks. The surgical computing device may include a processor that is configured to determine a present network locus, wherein the present network locus is any of a first surgical network or a second surgical network; identify a data communications session; determine a surgical data type of the data communication session, wherein the surgical data type is any of a first type of surgical data or a second type of surgical data, and direct the data communications session to the first surgical network if the surgical data type is the first type of surgical data or to the second surgical network if the surgical data type is the second type of surgical data.
