Elevating Connectivity for Critical Services for Healthcare

In healthcare, the importance of reliable cellular coverage and robust public safety services is paramount. Hospitals, as vital centers of healing, require seamless communication networks to ensure patient well-being and operational efficiency.

The Regional Hospital consists of 20 clinics with just over 3,200 employees who provide specialized health and medical care. The hospital had legacy infrastructure with substantial investments. Its core included durable, passive networks built by MIC Nordic. The hospital also acquired various active equipment through multiple contracts. The emergency communication systems still met the hospital’s needs, requiring no changes. However, the mobile network was outdated, featuring a mix of off-air repeaters and Delta Node fiber-DAS systems intended for telecom operators—a connection that was never made. Additionally, the technology used obsolete frequency bands.

Enhancing Communication Infrastructure to meet Healthcare Demands

The hospital was seeking for a scalable and future-proof platform that aligns with EU directives on cybersecurity (NIS2), resilience (RCE), and other relevant standards. Recognizing the significance of uninterrupted connectivity, the hospital aimed to fortify its communication infrastructure to meet the demands of emergencies and provide continuous, high-quality care.
