Corning MobileAccess, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE: GLW)
Telecommunications segment, is showcasing its distributed antenna
systems (DAS) solutions for the healthcare industry at HIMSS 2013,
March 3-7, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New
Orleans.
Corning MobileAccess also announced that Johns Hopkins Hospital
in Baltimore is the latest healthcare facility to utilize Corning's
wireless technology, which is used by dozens of major healthcare
facilities in the United States. The MobileAccess2000 DAS was
deployed in the hospital's newest clinical building, a dual-tower
adult and pediatric care facility.
Installed by Gulf Coast Real Estate Consultants (GCREC), the
Corning solution supports wireless coverage across 1.6 million
square feet of space and 560 patient rooms.
"Wireless connectivity is being adopted by more and more
healthcare institutions. Now, rather than asking 'should we add
wireless communications services?' healthcare professionals are
asking 'how can we make our wireless communications services
better?'" said Derek Johnston, senior director, Market Analysis
with Corning MobileAccess. "Corning MobileAccess technologies
enable hospitals to do this by allowing for, and significantly
improving, the usage of almost every device, from wireless medical
telemetry technologies to smartphones and tablets."
The MobileAccess2000 provides multi-service, multi-operator
wireless coverage over a single broadband infrastructure. The
wireless solution improves indoor cellular reception for staff,
patients and visitors; helps ensure constant connectivity for
emergency communications; and provides fast, dependable access to
patient data. The MobileAccess2000 can be installed inside
hospitals without repeatedly opening up ceilings and walls, thereby
minimizing disruptions to staff and patients.
Also, the Corning MobileAccess2000 will be supporting the HIMSS
2013 wireless footprint inside the Ernest N. Morial Convention
Center. Corning's DAS was deployed in the convention center in
preparation for Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3, bringing macro-network
cellular signals indoors to enhance wireless service.
The CorningMobileAccess2000 will be featured at booth #5316
alongside the company's other solutions. The Gulf Coast Real Estate
and Corning representatives will also be offering tours of the live
Corning MobileAccess DAS installed in the convention center. Those
interested in a live tour should visit the Corning booth at 11 a.m.
on March 5-6.
