Use Case
Inconsistent network access across healthcare facilities creates significant operational hurdles. This challenge of unreliable connectivity disrupts critical communications and data access, impacting the quality and efficiency of care delivered by clinicians on the move. Zebra provides a powerful, integrated solution that ensures seamless connectivity everywhere.
In the fast-paced healthcare industry, unreliable network coverage is a critical point of failure. The root cause often lies in Wi-Fi dead zones within large facilities or signal loss as staff move between different buildings on a campus. These gaps in connectivity prevent immediate access to patient records, delay vital communications, and disrupt time-sensitive clinical workflows.
The consequences of these disruptions are severe, leading to operational bottlenecks that can compromise patient safety and staff productivity. These connectivity issues directly contribute to inefficiencies, increase the risk of communication errors, and ultimately undermine the ability of care teams to deliver timely, effective patient care, impacting both outcomes and operational costs.
Zebra's integrated mobile computing solution directly addresses inconsistent network coverage. By combining a rugged, disinfectant-ready healthcare-grade device like the HC25 and HC55 with advanced connectivity software, this solution ensures clinicians can access critical data and communication tools without interruption, which helps to enhance clinical workflows and improve patient care.
By addressing connectivity challenges head-on, Zebra helps healthcare providers transition from a state of constant disruption to one of reliable, measurable performance. These tangible outcomes empower clinicians to work more efficiently and confidently.
'no-drop' connections even when roaming
greater range with superior Wi-Fi
upload and download speeds for enhanced data, voice, and video
The process begins when a clinician uses the Zebra HC25 or HC55 Mobile Computer, which leverages its private network support to provide reliable Private 5G cellular connectivity. This feature ensures faster up/download speeds for data, voice, and video, bypassing weak or non-existent Wi-Fi signals and keeping care teams connected everywhere.
When moving into an area with a strong signal, the device’s superior Wi-Fi radio with DNA Wireless for Mobile Computers software automatically takes over. This intelligent software provides exceptional ‘no-drop’ connections by seamlessly managing roaming between access points, delivering faster and more reliable performance across the wireless network.
Investing in this powerful, secure, and future-proof platform enhances clinical workflows and improves patient care. The Zebra HC25 and HC55 are purpose-built for healthcare, delivering superior connectivity with hot-swappable PowerPrecision batteries and a robust design that lowers the total cost of ownership.
