Infrastructure as a service provider Freshwave has deployed a 4G distributed antenna system (DAS) at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, UK.
The DAS will enable connectivity to each of the country's three major mobile carriers; EE, Virgin Media O2, and VodafoneThree.

Freshwave's deployment is supporting the government's 10 Year Health Plan to support the National Health Service's (NHS) shift from analog services to digital.
Mobile connectivity in hospitals is often poor due to thick walls and complex layouts that block mobile signals, notes Freshwave, while other technologies such as WiFi are often overburdened.
