Telemedicine, streaming capabilities, medical record access, continuity of coverage and capacity are all challenges in todays world that both health care providers and hospitals face. High speed communications and Internet access enable medical personnel to access information allowing them to make decisions faster and provide improved patient care. This, combined with real time patient vitals, will give medical personnel unprecedented ability to determine patient needs in real time taking into account all of todays challenges whether the patient is at home or through the remote monitoring of medical devices.

THE PROJECT

A nationally ranked Columbus Ohio Children Hospital needed to remove two existing cell towers and construct a larger hospital owned tower allowing for the expansion of the overall campus. Once this was accomplished they needed to relocate and update their existing DAS system to service the $880M expansion of the existing campus.
