Connectivity Hub

Connectivity has an increasingly important role to play in delivering digitally mature health services and NHS organisations must make plans to ensure digital transformation is not hindered by poor connectivity.

The Connectivity Hub supports the NHS to get the most out of its existing Wi-Fi and other wireless deployments and infrastructure. We provide advice and guidance and have ran trials which allowed NHS organisations to explore how cutting-edge wireless technologies could support the delivery of better health and care.

Wireless trials

Our wireless trials were designed to help the NHS understand how existing and emerging Wi-Fi solutions can be utilised, optimised, and orchestrated to support the delivery of better health and social care.
