5G connectivity for Burgenland hospitals

Gesundheit Burgenland found itself hampered by a myriad of outdated communication systems, including pagers and DECT phones, which were making it hard for staff to coordinate actions and negatively impacting patient care. Increasing demand for fast, real-time data access, secure communication, and the integration of advanced technologies like AI highlighted the hospitals’ need for a reliable, future-proof network infrastructure.

Magenta Telekom, in partnership with CANCOM Austria, deployed a 5G campus network across several hospitals in Burgenland, including the Oberwart clinic, Kittsee, Güssing, Oberpullendorf, and the headquarters in Eisenstadt. This private network replaces traditional communication tools, with 5G infrastructure handling all voice communications and alerts. The network is managed on-premises by the IT department of each hospital, ensuring maximum data protection and control. The system also boasts built-in redundancy to keep everything running smoothly, even during power or technical failures.
