Prior to the installation of an ION-E system at Memorial Medical Health, cell phone service was inconsistent or unavailable on a number of floors, stairwells, patient exam rooms and certain hallways. Besides cell phone service, connectivity problems impacted tablets used by doctors and nurses to fill out patient paperwork, automated medical records systems and advanced imaging technology, according to a statement from RF Connect.
The ION-E system, designed by Hickory, N.C.-based CommScope and RF Connect improves the connection speed and allows Memorial Medical Center to expand its cellular network making it easier for doctors, nurses, patients and visitors to communicate without interruption or poor performance. Transferring information and accessing patient records was also made easier by improving the connectivity of Memorial Medical Center’s wireless network.
“The ION-E platform was created specifically for the enterprise building market, with a focus on making it easier for IT people to deploy wireless services without the complexity of traditional radio frequency technologies commonly used in mobility,” said Mike Shumate, vice president of distributed coverage and capacity solutions at CommScope in a statement.
During the project, RF Connect used ION-E to help distribute wireless signals throughout an administrative building located on the medical center campus. ION-E is a wireless infrastructure system designed around IT-based structured cabling architecture. RF Connect worked closely with Denver-based Anixter during product selection and delivery logistics to make the process seamless, according to a statement from RF Connect.
“The ION-E system proved to be everything it was promoted as,” said RF Connect Executive Vice President Jeff Hipchen in a statement. “We see this solution as a true game-changer in the Distributed Antenna System industry.”
