Part of this presentation will be a case study for Sacred Heart Medical Center in Springfield, Oregon; a new replacement hospital, green-site. A requirement of occupancy by the City of Springfield was 100% wireless communication coverage throughout a 1.2 million square foot medical facility. The solution was a DAS - Distributed Antenna System. This session will cover the selection process, the design requirements and the services that were integrated onto the DAS once the decision was made to implement. This session will also cover clarity of the code requirement, best pratice for medical facilities, benifets of a well engineered wireless network, considerations that need to be considered during major renovation or new construction and implementing wireless infrastructure. The changing expectations from clinicians, staff and visitors around using wireless devices. A overview of a Distributed Antenna System and systems that can be integrated. Other benifets of a DAS to be covered are: ICRA, Service ability, Accessability, and return on investment (ROI. Understanding the difference between coverage and capacity as it relates to wireless. Coordination of cellular service carriers and integrating them onto the DAS. Patient and staff safety aspect. Other services i.e., HVAC, temperature monitoring, BAS wireless integration and future trends and advantages to wireless.
