Eliminating indoor dead zones and enabling reliable emergency connectivity
Organization: Specialty Hospital
Industry: Healthcare
Region: Muscat, Oman
Use Case: In-building cellular coverage for emergency communications
A hospital in Muscat faced significant in-building coverage issues across underground and indoor areas. The facility’s concrete-heavy infrastructure caused severe LTE signal degradation, creating dead zones in critical areas, including underground parking and lower-level corridors.
Despite existing 4G infrastructure, throughput across the facility ranged from 7 to 12 Mbps, which was insufficient for modern healthcare operations and emergency communications.
The hospital needed a solution that could:
The deployment delivered a greater than 25x improvement in throughput, increasing speeds from 7 to 12 Mbps to 226 to 430 Mbps across the facility.
Dead zones in underground and lower-level areas were eliminated, enabling consistent connectivity throughout the entire hospital, including critical infrastructure zones.
The solution optimized both uplink and downlink stability, ensuring reliable communication for staff across all areas of the facility, particularly important during emergency response scenarios.
The system was installed in under 4 hours using existing infrastructure, with no service interruption to hospital operations during deployment.
By leveraging the hospital’s existing DAS and cabling infrastructure, the deployment minimized additional hardware and avoided complex rework, reducing both cost and installation time.
Post-deployment performance now meets hospital-grade emergency readiness benchmarks, ensuring staff remain connected during critical situations.
