Midwestern health system deploys ADC's distributed antenna systems

Allina Hospitals & Clinics, a nonprofit network of hospitals and clinics providing care throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin, will deploy wireless services company ADC Network Solutions’ InterReach Fusion distributed antenna systems for mobile broadband data and voice services in its hospitals.

Allina’s company headquarters and Abbott Northwestern Hospital, both located in Minneapolis, have already deployed the service with plans to expand installations throughout Allina’s network in the future, according to Eden Prairie, Minn.-based ADC. Allina’s network includes 11 hospitals and 58 clinics throughout the area.

Currently, the system has enabled mobile device use in Abbott Hospital’s basement and lower floors, ADC added.
