Mobile connected care in a state-of-the-art Welsh hospital

Creating a bespoke solution for the NHS with campus connectivity extensions and a 5G upgrade path.

Specialist and critical care hospital, now better connected

We created a bespoke distributed antenna system (DAS) for the hospital, connecting all the UK mobile network operators and delivering improved connectivity for everyone. Now patients, clinicians and visitors to the hospital can connect with their loved ones anytime, anywhere.

Connecting a large scale hospital at an unprecedented pace

We carried out essential work around the hospital’s normal operating capacity, delivering assured connectivity without disrupting operations during the Covid-19 pandemic.

And through our partnership, we’ve connected their recent extension to guarantee patients and clinicians are connected at the right time in the right place

Covering 19,500 sq ft and eight floors, our network extension to the distributed antenna system covers the new Hospital Sterilisation and Decontamination Unit. The £16 million unit provides modern facilities to clean and decontaminate operating theatre instruments used.

It provides facilities to clean and decontaminate endoscopy equipment and will be able to process robotic surgery equipment in the future.

No matter what network people are on, they’ll be able to access secure, reliable mobile coverage so they can always get in touch with people when they need to.
