Guardant Health relies on experience-driven Wi-Fi to keep the focus on early cancer detection

Guardant Health chose the iconic former headquarters of Hewlett Packard in Palo Alto, California, as its new home as it accelerates its groundbreaking clinical work. Guardant Health’s innovations help cancer patients get the right treatment and pharmaceutical companies bring new therapies to market faster.

Smart office technology creates a welcoming, safe, and productive office and clinical lab environment for employees, including desk and conference room reservations and wayfinding. With 250,000 square feet of beautiful new space, Guardant Health’s new headquarters has room for 1200 workers. 

Guardant clinical researchers, bioinformatic scientists, software developers, marketers, and salespeople want to stay focused on improving clinical outcomes and quality of life for people living with advanced cancer.

“Our teams are constantly collaborating,” says Gascon. “They want to go from conference room to conference room without their video calls or screen shares dropping.”

Juniper Wi-Fi resolved a particularly knotty problem in the clinical labs. Guardant’s Digital Sequencing technology combines high-efficiency biochemistry with next-generation sequencing and a machine-learning-augmented bioinformatics platform to create what the company believes delivers the clinical sensitivity levels for best-in-class products across all stages of cancer.

Cameras inside the Digital Sequencing machines record operations. Regulatory and physical restrictions preclude a wired connection, and with the previous Wi-Fi, the cameras would often disconnect. With AI-driven Juniper wireless, the cameras stay connected, and the life-saving work of early cancer detection continues uninterrupted.
