Case study

The Bethlem Royal Hospital is one of the largest mental health care, Medium Secure Units, in the UK. Ascom Wireless Solutions has been providing communication solutions to them for over fifteen years. Following a wide ranging review and the forthcoming development of a new multimillion-pound wing, Bethlem decided to embark on a complete revamp of their systems. Along with other providers Ascom was asked to put forward a package that would be the ‘hub’ for a completely integrated on site network, linking all the various existing systems and being the catalyst for voice, data and loneworker communications. The Hospital hosts some 450 patients and 2000 staff.
