InnerWireless Medical-grade Wireless Utility Delivering Guaranteed, Multi-service Coverage To More Than 25 Leading Hospitals

Wireless infrastructure enables truly mobile healthcare environment for clinicians and staff

RICHARDSON, Texas – Feb. 23, 2006 – InnerWireless®, Inc., the leading provider of in-building wireless systems, today announced that its Medical-grade Wireless Utility has been installed in more than 25 leading U.S. hospitals to provide clinicians and administrators with guaranteed multi-service wireless coverage throughout the hospital. This enables true mobility because caregivers and staff can connect wirelessly to critical applications, including the main Hospital Information System (HIS), from anywhere in the hospital, without concern over dropped signals or inconsistent coverage that can result from operating multiple discrete wireless systems.

The Wireless Utility is based on InnerWireless' distributed antenna system which supports a full range of wireless interpersonal, clinical and building-services applications via an engineered, guaranteed and managed wireless environment.

Among the most recent hospitals choosing to install the Medical-grade Wireless Utility are: Community Medical Centers, Fresno, Calif.; HealthAlliance Hospital, Leominster, Mass.; The University of Chicago's Bernard A. Mitchell Hospital, Chicago, Ill.; and Platte Valley Medical Center, Brighton, Colo.

"HealthAlliance Hospital is committed to providing our community with the most advanced patient care possible, so we continually update our facilities with technologies that support our mission," said HealthAlliance Corporate Chief Information Officer Richard Mohnk. "Of all the systems we reviewed, only the Wireless Utility from InnerWireless could provide guaranteed wireless coverage that is required for our caregivers to stay in contact with each other, while always having access to clinical data needed to support clinicians in providing superior care. The wireless platform enables technologies that help reduce medical errors, improve communications, streamline operations and enhance the patient experience."

Rather than repeatedly installing and disrupting patient-care areas to maintain multiple, discrete wireless systems, hospitals use InnerWireless to distribute several wireless services, including clinical data, computerized physician order entry (CPOE), paging, public cellular services, nurse-call systems and future monitoring applications. The system can also distribute two-way radio for security and maintenance, as well as WiFi and cellular phone access for patients, visitors and staff.

InnerWireless works closely with hospital clinicians, administrators and technology teams through its dedicated InnerWireless healthcare team, which includes corporate development staff and regional sales offices. The team consists of experienced professionals who understand healthcare’s unique challenges and are committed to delivering clinical and business-impacting solutions to customers.

“We are pleased to be helping so many leading hospitals accelerate their transition from the wired to the wireless world by giving them guaranteed and complete multi-service coverage with our Medical-grade Wireless Utility,” said Rick Gentry, vice president of healthcare for InnerWireless. “For clinicians, having complete mobility throughout the hospital is a huge benefit, and it helps improve patient safety and the overall patient experience. With InnerWireless, clinicians and staff can work efficiently with a wireless system that is always on, always synched and always available.”
