Health Care
The healthcare industry has reached a point where it must determine how services can be delivered more effectively. In-Building-Wireless' healthcare solutions enable hospitals and other medical facilities to provide superior patient care and improve service and security while enhancing communication capabilities and reducing costs.

Working with best-in-class products from leading industry vendors, In-Building-Wireless designs, engineers, installs, and maintains wireless networks that enhance voice and data communication capabilities in buildings and structures such as tunnels and bridges. In-Building-Wireless offers:

  • Our converged network solutions provide instant access to applications such as patient medical records while protecting and securing critical information. By providing multi-frequency coverage to multiple carriers throughout a building, we offer facility occupants the ability to have cellular/PCS, Wi-Fi, paging, and two-way radio networks all working in the same in-building infrastructure.
  • Our cellular/PCS solutions help building and enterprise owners meet the increasing demands of wireless users. Our systems increase wireless coverage inside areas typically known as dead spots or zones.
  • Our Wi-Fi network solutions provide secure voice and data networking environments supporting various healthcare applications such as direct insurance submissions. Our systems can increase productivity while decreasing future upgrade costs.
  • Our point-to-point solutions connect two or more buildings or locations with a wireless link. Our systems allow data, voice, T1, and other types of communication between the linked vicinities.
  • Whether you're a biomedical engineer, facilities manager, or IT professional, you have a stake in ensuring the safe and effective use of wireless technologies throughout your physical plant. Our broad range of professional services provides in-depth, hands-on network planning, deployment, installation and troubleshooting.


 

Wi-Fi Network Solutions
 Hospitals and other medical facilities look to Wi-Fi solutions to take full advantage of the mobility, flexibility, and speed offered by wireless technologies. While these technologies improve the quality and reduce the cost of patient care, identifying and troubleshooting the complicated issues in medical environments is crucial to the integration and implementation of an effective wireless plan.  

Medical environments--especially hospitals--are complex, and the addition of wireless systems can cause electromagnetic interference problems for medical equipment. In-Building-Wireless works with your team to ensure no issues are overlooked and that the following requirements for a properly functioning network are met:

  • Wi-Fi CERTIFIED(TM) 802.11 equipment
  • Public Internet access using only Wi-Fi CERTIFIED(TM) equipment.
  • Minimum -85dB signal strength (RSSI) throughout coverage area
  • Minimum 20dB signal to noise ratio (SNR)
  • Limited leakage outside of coverage for security
  • Proper frequency planning

A Wi-Fi network will provide your employees and other building occupants, regardless of their physical location within your facility, constant access to important network data. In a world where people need information in an instant, a Wi-Fi network is a cost-effective and intelligent solution to meet the needs of today while preparing for the demands of tomorrow.

Professional Services
 The proper design and use of wireless technologies in the healthcare industry requires detailed planning and management. In-Building-Wireless' healthcare-focused planning services incorporate interference analysis, regulatory support, and project management to ensure the successful deployment, installation, and troubleshooting of your wireless system.

Interference Analysis
 Harmful interference in a hospital or other medical facility can come from a variety of sources, both inside and outside the facility itself. In-Building-Wireless can help you identify these sources and develop a resolution plan to ensure that your building remains interference free.

Regulatory Support
 The rulemaking and roles of the FCC and FDA can impact hospitals directly and indirectly. In-Building-Wireless understands this impact and can lift its resulting burden on you by:

  • Monitoring and interpreting FCC rulemakings
  • Distilling and disseminating regulatory information
  • Ensuring compliance with FDA / CRDH and AAMI TIR guidelines
  • Maintaining FCC licenses
  • Ensuring compliance with FCC, OSHA, and ANSI guidelines on radiation hazard exposure

Project Management
 We offer a wide range of project management services. In addition to managing the existing infrastructure and evaluating new systems and their overall impact on the hospital, our project managers:

  • Help establish wireless policies
  • Work with inter-department wireless stakeholders to coordinate wireless deployment strategies
  • Develop plans to harmonize the use of wireless frequencies and systems throughout the hospital
  • Develop and implement a pro-active interference management program
  • Inform or develop technology visions
  • Inform or develop cell phone policies
  • Develop RF device / asset databases
  • Develop guidelines for managing relationships with wireless equipment vendors and service providers
