  • Boost EE signal throughout the entire building

Solution:

  • CEL-FI QUATRA EVO

Business Profile

Hywel Dda University Health Board provides healthcare services to a population of approximately 384,000 throughout Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

It provides Acute, Primary, Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities services via General and Community Hospitals, Health Centres, GPs, Dentists, Pharmacists and Optometrists and other sites. Around 115,000 people now access their services each year.

The Challenge

In a hospital environment, continuous and stable mobile connectivity is imperative for staff and patients alike. Without access to mobile services, patients struggle to connect with loved ones to explain their situation, doctors struggle to connect with patients to help them, and the hospital staff struggle to communicate with each other at potentially critical moments. At Bronglais General Hospital, administrators needed to improve EE (a British cellular provider) mobile signal coverage in all areas of the existing and newly-built hospital wing. Boosting solutions from EE themselves failed to account for every dead zone and Wi-Fi calling proved ineffective time and time again. The CEL-FI QUATRA EVO was what they turned to next.

The Solution

Following a site inspection, the Nextivity CEL-FI QUATRA EVO mobile signal boosters were fitted. The CEL-FI QUATRA EVO is a scalable in-building mobile system for delivering high quality signal in venues up to 200,000 ft², more than enough to cover the hospital wing.

The CEL-FI QUATRA EVO is a cost-efficient and easy-to-deploy solution that combines the best of active DAS and Smart Booster technologies that have been widely adopted by industry and networks around the world, setting a new standard in Signal Boosting capabilities. CEL-FI QUATRA EVO delivers a mobile signal that is up to 1000x stronger than analog, utilizing category cabling for RF and power over ethernet, with no signal attenuation right to the perimeter of the building.

The Result

After a successful installation, the CEL-FI QUATRA EVO did precisely what it was designed to do, boosting the mobile signal coverage across the entire hospital wing, including new and old construction materials. The CEL-FI QUATRA EVO delivered the exact low-cost and easy-to-use solution that it promised and gave the staff and patients of Bronglais General Hospital the connectivity they need.
