Healthcare Connectivity Solutions

Our Wi-Fi and Wireless solution requirements are continuously growing in healthcare, with more groups evolving and becoming more connected.

Throughout healthcare, the need for fast, reliable and secure Wi-Fi solutions is rapidly growing with the emergence of connected medical equipment. Having a consistent connection benefits both patients and staff for a more effective and efficient way of working.

Patients have more control of their own care using online digital services, alleviating the pressure from staff allowing them to tend to the most urgent cases.

Patients can access their own health records and book appointments while in the facility, and Wi-Fi allows them to keep in touch with their loved ones from their bed.

Self-check-in and automated updates and requests for patients also make staying a bit easier. The more connected healthcare groups can become in the future, the better the levels of care that can be provided.

Healthcare Wi-Fi Requirements

Ease of Use

Easy access to the connection ensures each patient and their family members can connect their own devices quickly and securely.

Separate Network Configuration

Separating your network into two separate patient-facing and private-facing systems to operate independently to ensure bandwidth is covered for both.

Strong Coverage and Performance

Providing speeds and bandwidth to cover all the required devices within the building, all while ensuring the performance is paramount.

Ward to Ward Connectivity (Point-to-Point/Multipoint)

Point-to-Point and Multipoint (PtP and PtMP) allow connectivity between one or more locations without having to lay fibre. Meaning each healthcare group within one location can be on the same network, so staff can move from the hospital ward to the emergency room without disruption, creating a fast and efficient workplace for those in a fast-paced job.

Networking and Security

Ensuring each patient is safe on the network, Purdicom works with WatchGuard to provide secure firewalls and network security; offering solutions for network threats such as malware and ransomware. Their multi-factor authentication solution works to reduce network disruptions and data breaches arising from weak or stolen credentials, something common with large numbers of patients on the network.

UPS: Uninterruptible Power Supplies & Emergency Backup Power Units

An uninterruptible power supply, better known as a UPS, is a battery backup system designed to provide an immediate backup power source to electronic devices in the event of a power cut. A UPS is vital to ensure business and mission-critical devices can either contiune operating or be provided with enough power to safely shut themselves down in the event of a power outage to prevent loss of work or data corruption.  A reliable UPS system is a crucial element in all situations where a continuous, stable power supply is essential to the continuation of important work.

The UPS will immediately take over from the mains power as soon as it detects a power cut and its internal battery will recharge itself automatically when power returns.
