WE PROVIDE CUSTOM-DESIGNED
IN-BUILDING WIRELESS SOLUTIONS FOR HEALTHCARE

Radio Communications of Charleston Inc. provides custom-designed in-building wireless solutions for hospitals and healthcare facilities. We have decades of experience working with healthcare facilities, including hospitals and campuses, medical centers, outpatient facilities, diagnostic laboratories, senior living communities and assisted-living facilities.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities require fully integrated systems with reliable cellular coverage to improve patient care, increase caregiver productivity and maximize operational efficiencies. Our comprehensive portfolio of industry-leading DAS solutions is ideal to empower physicians with real-time metrics and patient information during surgeries and patient interactions in any hospital, clinic, surgery center or outpatient facility.

Boosting Communications Signals in Healthcare Facilities

We design, install, maintain and certify Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) to amplify radio frequency and cellular signal inside large buildings and facilities as well as sprawling campus environments. Equipping your healthcare facility with a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) provides wireless coverage in every building, which doctors and other medical professionals are now dependent on for tablets to log patient data and communicate patient needs.

We offer DAS solutions for many types of healthcare facilities:

  • Hospitals and healthcare campuses
  • Medical centers
  • Outpatient centers
  • Diagnostic laboratories
  • Assisted-living facilities
  • Senior living communities

Today’s healthcare facilities require fully integrated systems that combine traditional wired technology infrastructure with new, advanced wireless technologies that can be delivered through single or multiple networks. Staff rely on tablets to streamline patient check-in and cut down on unnecessary paperwork. And for patients receiving long-term care, communication with family and friends is crucial to recovery, so having a device that’s always connected no matter the service provider is imperative. The patient experience, employee productivity and competitive nature of healthcare delivery demand wireless systems that integrate voice, data, location and clinical services seamlessly throughout the entire facility.

Radio Communications of Charleston Inc.'s DAS solutions meet the need for complete, clear, reliable coverage throughout a campus, considering the necessity for wireless coverage in underground areas, on-campus stadiums and parking structures. Robust wireless connectivity is critical for the patient experience. We provide the solution to keep patients, family and friends, staff, security personnel and first responders always connected.

Commercial Cellular Booster Solutions

Radio Communications of Charleston Inc.'s commercial cellular booster solutions for healthcare organizations provide reliable indoor multi-carrier cellular coverage that meets the needs of patients, doctors, nurses, security, maintenance and visitors. Equipping your healthcare campus with a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) provides wireless coverage in every building, enhances patient care and safety, increases staff productivity, improves operations, and keeps family and friends connected.

Public Safety DAS Solutions

Radio Communications of Charleston Inc. engineers, designs, installs and certifies public safety Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) to comply with Fire Prevention Code NFPA 72, NFPA 1221 and IFC 510 DAS fire codes for ERCES. All public safety DAS systems must be able to pass the commissioning test, acceptance test and annual system performance and battery backup tests.

Integrated Healthcare Communications
The Heart of Real-Time Collaboration and Response

Healthcare operations are experiencing an epidemic of safety issues. They must care for the ill and injured inside their facilities while protecting patients, staff and visitors from outside threats. Yet violent acts are becoming the norm, impacting almost 90 percent of hospitals. Whether it is an aggressive patient who needs to be subdued, or a threatening visitor entering with a weapon, it is critical for hospitals to prevent incidents and resolve them quickly when they occur. Providers must put proper security measures and communication systems in place to handle crisis prevention and crisis management. When they do, safety is strengthened, your organization can achieve better outcomes.

We understand your challenges and provide advanced technology solutions for healthcare. Our integrated solutions can help you improve every day and emergency communications and enhance external collaboration with other providers and public safety. We are at the forefront of designing and supporting secure, reliable, resilient technology that transforms healthcare. Unlike other wireless systems, digital two-way radio means you aren’t dependent on an external network or commercial carrier for a real-time flow of information. When a crisis occurs, you’ll have private, “always available” communications to streamline collaboration and speed response.

Two-Way Radios

Motorola XPR7550e

Whether you are a security officer on-site with an aggravated patient, or housekeeping turning over a patient room, or even an administrator dealing with large-scale emergencies such as extreme weather, nothing is faster than push-to-talk (PTT) communications. Motorola digital radios provide instant, reliable communications to specific groups or individuals. When bad things happen, nothing is faster than push-to-talk.

The backbone of integrated healthcare communications is the MOTOTRBO digital platform. This flexible and adaptable solution includes digital two-way radios, accessories, applications, systems and support services. MOTOTRBO connects staff and equipment together to provide clear, secure and discreet communications. And they are HIPAA-compliant to protect the confidentiality of patient data.

MOTOTRBO digital two-way radios keep your teams connected with impressive range, long-lasting battery life, and intelligent audio, so you can hear and be heard clearly when you need to communicate most. Discreet audio accessories ensure covert communications, so you’re ready to respond if necessary, but can also prevent situations from escalating. For healthcare organizations, every second counts - if you’re not communicating now, it may not be fast enough.

MOTOTRBO seamlessly integrates voice, data, text messaging, GPS, work order ticketing and more to help your staff communicate and collaborate most effectively. Wireless Bluetooth® accessories and covert earpieces enable security personnel to operate discreetly. For emergency situations and everyday operations, MOTOTRBO strengthens workplace safety and improves overall efficiency.
