Seneca Enterprise · Across the UK
Mobile coverage for hospitals and healthcare
Keep care teams connected wherever the working day takes them. Bring reliable mobile reception to wards, clinics and service areas for faster coordination and response.
Where mobile signal fails in hospitals and healthcare
Dense partitions, basement services and new wings can block mobile reception even when outdoor coverage is strong. Estates staff leave the work area to make a call, and visitors cannot reliably contact family from inside the building.
Basements and service routes
Reach maintenance teams where essential work takes place.
New wings
Integrate coverage with the building programme and clinical access rules.
How a distributed antenna system fixes hospital and healthcare coverage
Seneca plans antenna locations, cable routes and mobile network coverage with the hospital’s estates and technical teams. Clinical restrictions, sensitive equipment and infection-control arrangements are part of the design and installation plan.

Coordinate care faster
Keep clinicians, pharmacy staff and support teams in contact as they move between departments.
Put information within reach
Support mobile access to approved records and applications at the point of work.
Keep families connected
Give patients and visitors a dependable way to contact family from inside the building.
