DAS Systems for Reliable Healthcare Communications

A distributed antenna system (DAS) from Hixxa Communications can ensure effective, reliable communications throughout your building or campus to meet today’s challenges.

Reliable communications throughout a healthcare facility are crucial components of effective patient care. Today, healthcare providers increasingly rely on cell phone technology to communicate with staff, patients and visitors and remain in contact with hospital equipment. Yet weak cell signals, unreliable service and communications dead spots can negatively affect patient care.

Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Applications

Healthcare facilities use wireless technology for a range of applications including:

• Communicating with staff and visitors
• Patient monitoring
• Sending receiving files and other information
• Wireless PBX
• Building automation
• Facility security
• Robust wi-fi
• Connection to Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Solving Coverage Issues

Hospitals and medical facilities often suffer from poor cell phone coverage. Construction materials, including concrete walls, lead-lined rooms, metal piping, reflective glass and tile walls and floors all interfere with cell signals. DAS systems overcome these barriers by providing a strong, reliable signal throughout a building or multi-building campus.

DAS System Benefits

• Strong, reliable signals throughout buildings, including lower levels
• Cellular coverage campus-wide
• Continuous, uninterrupted communications for EMS providers and first responders
• Coverage for all carriers and frequencies
• Enhanced audio quality
• Compatible with new smart phone applications
• Increased productivity of doctors, nurses and staff
• Improved safety and security, especially in fringe areas
• Reduced operational expense
• Scalable to grow as your facility expands
