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.
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.
