Case Study

Local Hospital – Cellular BDA

Leading New England Furniture Retailer

Client: Local Hospital within Leading Regional Healthcare System

Location: Medford, MA

Technology: Cellular Bi-Directional Amplifier

Challenge: Poor cellular coverage

Unreliable Cell Service

Doctors at an area hospital rely on their cell phones for communications related to patient care. Updates about lab results or notifications from the nursing staff were common communications that doctors would rely on. The problem was the cellular coverage was poor inside the hospital. There had to be a way to address poor cellular reception.

KTS Recommends Cellular BDA. Problem Solved. Money Saved.

For these doctors, poor cellular coverage is a thing of the past. KTS evaluated two potential solutions: a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) and a Cellular BDA (Bi-directional Amplifier). The cellular BDA was recommended and was installed in 2017 with a cost savings of nearly $200,000 as compared to the DAS option.

Doctors can count on their cell phones for updates regarding patients thanks to KTS.

“We have been working with KTS as our go-to partner for over 30 years. From structured cabling to solving unreliable cell coverage, KTS keeps our communications infrastructure healthy and fully functioning.”
