Key Takeaways
- Healthcare-Ready Infrastructure: Over 800 indoor/outdoor APs replaced or newly installed to modernize wireless performance and coverage.
- Minimized Operational Disruption: Migration support and project coordination ensure care delivery continues uninterrupted.
- Future-Ready Foundation: Improved connectivity strengthens daily clinical operations and prepares the system for ongoing digital transformation.
Challenge: A leading healthcare services organization needed to modernize its wireless infrastructure across its medical campuses. With over 800 access points (APs) to upgrade and limited windows for migration, the organization required an experienced partner who could execute efficiently, minimize disruption to medical staff and patients, and maintain network integrity throughout the process.
Solution: Connext is deploying experienced field technicians to the medical centers, working in close coordination with hospital staff to access secure network closets and infrastructure zones. Following our success playbook, we provide comprehensive project management, from on site access to testing and migration support.
Replacing 480 legacy access points (APs) and installing 345 new APs, which span both indoor and outdoor locations, requires precision and care. The project involves running new Cat6 LAN cable extensions, establishing network connectivity, executing final test and acceptance protocols alongside hospital and IT staff, and safely relocating all decommissioned equipment for proper handling.
All work is completed within scheduled windows, which are coordinated across a four-week period to minimize disruptions to hospital operations.
Results: The upgraded WLAN infrastructure supports improved wireless coverage and speed throughout the campuses, enabling more reliable access to critical applications, medical records, and communication tools. With a modern wireless foundation in place, the healthcare provider is better equipped to support future technologies and ensure exceptional patient care.
At Connext, we start every project by listening to understand and executing with intention. Healthcare operations and lives depend on it.
