Why High Power RF Transmission of Critical Alert Messaging Is Superior
What is positively the best way to ensure your critical alert messaging gets through? How can you guarantee these critical messages will be delivered to the proper people and acknowledged? The answer to these important questions is simple: Your facility should be communicating these messages via high-powered radio broadcasts. A single antenna located at your facility and broadcasting at 900MHz can cover your entire hospital and approximately 20 miles beyond – without FAIL.
Unlike WiFi solutions that require multiple antennae — and even then can’t guarantee 100 percent coverage — radio broadcasts, using response pagers, PUSH your critical messages to staff members, ensuring delivery and providing acknowledgement of receipt and when and how staff members will respond to the messages. WiFi solutions rely on having their messages pulled from recipients, and again, if they are in a WiFi “dead zone,” your critical communication will never be delivered.
Personal experience is always the best example; turn your radio on and it’s always there. Turn on your cell or smart phone, and if you’re in area with no WiFI or cell coverage, you have an uncommunicative piece of hardware in your hand.
