OVERLAND PARK, Kan.-Sprint Corp. said it has implemented a private Wi-Fi network covering more than 1 million square feet at the University of California-Davis Health System Medical Center in Sacramento, Calif.
The deployment, which includes Cisco Aironet Access Points, is designed to enhance the facilities’ wireless voice communication system using a Vocera Communications System Voice over Internet Protocol solution. The system consists of a software application and a voice-controlled badge that allows hands-free communications between staff members.
Sprint added that such networks could also be used for other advanced voice and data solutions, including the alignment of voicemail, integration of the nurse call and alarm notification system, electronic medical record sharing and providing or authorizing patient orders through multiple wireless devices.
