Guaranteed Wi-Fi Coverage for Critical Medical Applications
In hospital environments, there are applications where complete and continuous Wi-Fi coverage is not an option, it is an absolute requirement! Medical systems that process patient data in real time tolerate no interruption whatsoever. Standard Wi-Fi surveys often fall short in such critical contexts.
Advanced Networks specializes in high-precision Wi-Fi measurements for environments where reliability is crucial. We were among the first to conduct these specialized surveys, originally at the request of companies such as Dräger and Philips Medical. Through years of practical experience, we developed a rigorous methodology specifically tailored to medical applications where connectivity is literally a matter of life and death.
A concrete example is the deployment of wireless cardiac monitors at RZ Heilig Hart hospital. For continuous patient monitoring, 100% uptime is required: even a brief connectivity interruption can have serious consequences. Therefore, we conduct extremely detailed Wi-Fi surveys based on physical measurements at all locations where patients may be present.
During these measurements, we simulate realistic conditions, including the influence of the human body on radio signals, a factor often insufficiently considered in traditional surveys. We also account for the specific radio characteristics and sensitivities of medical equipment.
The result is an exceptionally robust and reliable wireless network that not only guarantees stable data communication but also enables precise localization through triangulation. This ensures hospital networks meet the highest demands of the medical sector, today and in the future.
