DAS in Healthcare
Healthcare facilities are quite often very bad
environments for cellular signal propagation potentially due to
distance from towers, but more often, because of the materials
historically used in constructing them.
This is true to an even greater extent from materials like
reflective glass commonly used in LEED construction.
In areas of weak signals, Mobile device power control
algorithms cause increased battery consumption
as devices “work” to seek network uplink (similar to battery
drainage seen in any area with poor coverage).
More power used seeking an up-link equates to greater battery
drain. Because a
well-designed DAS effectively enhances signal propagation, device
algorithm controlled up-link power boosting and battery consumption
are minimized. In a
medical facility with a DAS, device power levels can often be
sustained at levels below the 5mW healthcare EMI threshold,
effectively minimizing potential medical equipment interference.
Business and Clinical Case for DAS
Healthcare facilities represent an
application-rich mobile environment.
Facilitating worker mobility, improving access to patient
information, and an the role wireless communications can have in
encouraging staff collaboration and improving overall patient care
and well-being are driving healthcare
operators to turn to DAS.
With DAS, wireless can also be deployed to extend the
benefits of facility-wide wireless access to guests and visitors
enhancing their facility experiences as well.
Streamline DAS Solution
DAS can support medical telemetry, physician,
staff and visitor smartphone use, as well as WiFi for mobile
computing. A neutral
host DAS can be deployed to provide access to all cellular carrier
networks enabling the healthcare facility operator to meet needs of
users operating on multiple carrier networks.
