In a strategic partnership with a large public healthcare system, Arctiq successfully executed a comprehensive wireless infrastructure project to address critical business drivers and enhance connectivity. The client recognized the importance of seamless connectivity in delivering high-quality patient care and optimizing operational efficiency.
They had a keen focus on:
Enhancing Patient Care: Facilitating real-time access to medical information, enabling efficient care coordination, and improving patient outcomes through streamlined communication.
Mobility and Productivity: Empowering physicians and staff with reliable wireless connectivity, allowing them to access critical information, collaborate efficiently, and deliver care with increased mobility.
Scalability and Future-Readiness: Designing a wireless infrastructure that could accommodate current demands and adapt to future growth and technology advancements.
Compliance and Security: Ensuring a secure wireless environment compliant with healthcare industry regulations, safeguarding sensitive patient data, and protecting against unauthorized access.
Wireless Site Survey and Planning
Arctiq initiated the project by conducting an active wireless site survey at four hospital locations, serving approximately 50,000 users daily. The survey aimed to determine the optimal number and placement of access points to meet the specified RF (Radio Frequency) requirements. Working closely with the healthcare provider, Arctiq’s team of 35 resources meticulously designed and engineered the wireless infrastructure, considering the unique needs and challenges of each hospital location.
Full Implementation Services
Arctiq provided end-to-end implementation services, ensuring a seamless deployment of the wireless network. This encompassed configuring Wireless LAN Controllers, Cisco Prime, Access Points, and integrating them with the existing wired network infrastructure. Arctiq’s experienced team worked diligently to optimize the wireless network, ensuring robust and secure connectivity throughout the healthcare system.
Post-Implementation Validation
To validate the wireless network’s performance, Arctiq conducted a post-implementation passive survey in a production environment. This comprehensive assessment assessed the network’s adherence to specified RF requirements and documented its overall performance. The results were meticulously analyzed, documented, and delivered, providing tangible evidence that the wireless network had successfully met all the specified RF requirements.
Benefits and Impact
