There was a time when hospitals refused to allow staff to carry personal cellphones. The fear was that the devices' signal could interfere with more traditional medical devices. But providers have figured out that this fear is largely unfounded, opening the gates to a flood of cellphones.
As more and more clinicians use personal or hospital-issued cellphones for mission-critical functions, the demand for reliable signals has increased dramatically, and some providers are finding that standard cell signals don't penetrate to many areas of their facility. This is where an indoor distributed antenna system (DAS) comes in.
