CASE STUDY

PROBLEM


  • Reliable, secure, clear radio communications across multiple channels for many different user groups.
  • Coverage across all major external areas of the campus and internally within the main hospital building – particularly the Emergency Department.
  • Ability to locate radio users in times of duress – particularly for those working alone.
  • System to be expandable as the hospital precinct grows.

NEED

  • All conversations in clear digital with no external interference, taking place across all hospital areas
  • Interfaced with warden despatch software package to maximise staff efficiency and meet KPI’s
  • Variety of radio terminals supplied, all compatible and with features tailored to each user group
  • Robust 24Hr maintenance agreement in place to support the critical network
  • System is expandable to cater for future staff safety enhancements and efficiency gains
