The tour concluded at Cable and Wireless Headquarters.

Cable and Wireless are partners in the project, tasked with the implementation of the system. They will install the software on some 2800 devices including laptops, tablets, and desktops, and connect them to a network. The health system, according to Dr. Tufton will be able to process 1 million transactions at a time. ICT lead Shawn Bolton attests to the security of the system. More details in this report:
