Offload
existing wifi

Today the existing wifi is very often used by employees to connect also their smartphones while at work. If an indoor system is built with high capacity, all that usage can be off-loaded and free up capacity and increase quality in wifi network, reducing need for further wifi investments 

Patient and
​​​​​​​visitor analytics

Indoor networks are a great tool for securely analyzing patient movement based on their smartphones and anonomized user data from operators  

TOMORROW

Robot assisted arrival screening

FUTURE

Remote consultation in 8K
Medical industry is running short of professionals, infrastructure and monetary resources. Remote health with high quality can secure next level of efficiency

Asset Monitoring

Smart Check-in with facial recognition
Facial reqognition can become avery valuable tool in speeding up and creating more efficienct check in processes. Flexible, secure and high capacity connectivity will be needed and can be secured with 5G
Very large file transfer
One challenge for hospitals today is to transfer large files from PET/CAT scans. 5G has the potential to become the high capacity local network to overcome these challenges, even when they are fully mobile.
