Project Throwback | St George’s Hospital
When the new buildings at St George’s Hospital were constructed following the Christchurch earthquakes, modern steel, concrete and glass created an unexpected challenge - mobile signals struggled to get through.
For a hospital, reliable connectivity isn’t simply a convenience. Staff need to communicate effectively, while patients and visitors want to stay connected with family and loved ones.
Following a detailed site audit, Teltrac designed and installed a purpose-built in-building mobile coverage solution supporting all three major New Zealand carriers within the same system - a first for a major New Zealand site at the time.
The improvement was immediate, delivering reliable mobile coverage throughout the target areas of the new buildings.
A great project to look back on, and a reminder that sometimes the infrastructure you can’t see makes a very real difference to the people using a building every day.
