Corning MobileAccess, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE: GLW)
Telecommunications segment, today announced that St. Joseph Mercy
Ann Arbor has expanded its wireless footprint and improved overall
connectivity at the hospital through the deployment of a Corning
MobileAccess distributed antenna system (DAS).
St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor is a leading healthcare provider in
Ann Arbor, Mich., and a member of Saint Joseph Mercy Health System
(SJMHS).
"The modern hospital requires more than just Wi-Fi. Healthcare
providers like St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor need to have seamless
cellular service throughout their facilities," said Tom Tocco, vice
president, Support Services and Capital Projects, SJMHS. "The
Corning solution not only allows patients and visitors to easily
communicate with family and loved ones outside of the facility, but
it also improves access to physicians and staff, improving response
time in the event of emergencies and enhancing overall efficiency
of our operations."
This deployment comes on the heels of a sister hospital, St.
Joseph Mercy Oakland in Pontiac, Mich., also implementing a Corning
MobileAccess DAS through RF Connect, a leader in the design and
deployment of high performance wireless networks.
St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor is a 537-bed comprehensive, community
and teaching hospital, serving Ann Arbor and the surrounding
communities for 100 years. Currently celebrating a "Century of
Caring," the hospital is frequently ranked as a Top 100 Hospital by
Thomson Reuters, and is at the forefront of many clinical
specialties, including cardiovascular medicine, oncology,
orthopedics and robotic surgery.
From electronic medical records (EMR) to wireless medical
telemetry systems, indoor cellular coverage and technologies like
4G LTE are vital to providing efficient, effective patient care.
St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor enlisted RF Connect and Corning to
improve the hospital's wireless architecture to better meet the
demands of emerging solutions without impacting staff and patient
safety.
"Mobility and enhanced patient care go hand-in-hand, a trend
that the St. Joseph Mercy Health System has quickly recognized and
embraced with a Corning MobileAccess DAS," said Mike Genovese,
senior vice president, Wireless Networks and New Business
Development, Corning Cable Systems. "The Corning solution provides
St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor with pervasive cellular coverage for
critical communications, and future-ready, ubiquitous accessibility
to vital healthcare applications, like electronic medical records
and patient monitoring."
RF Connect recommended the Corning MobileAccess2000 DAS, a
multi-carrier, multi-service indoor wireless platform which
supports existing and legacy wireless services, like 2G and 3G, and
emerging services, like 4G LTE. Another benefit was
MobileAccess2000's modular architecture, which made adding services
or carriers easier by not requiring major construction while
minimizing interruptions for staff, visitors and patients.
