Build­ing the foun­da­tion for a health­care trans­for­ma­tion at Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal

The Hola 5G Oulu project is mak­ing sig­nif­i­cant progress towards its goal of launch­ing a pri­vate 5G SA net­work at Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal. The project has reached a cru­cial stage: the essen­tial net­work infra­struc­ture is in place and the team is cur­rent­ly on-site at the hos­pi­tal, installing key com­po­nents. 

The ini­tial deploy­ment phase is com­plete, with all the Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) suc­cess­ful­ly installed. The focus is now on inte­grat­ing the Base­band Units (BBUs) and the geo-redun­dant high-avail­abil­i­ty core solu­tion. These com­po­nents are crit­i­cal for ensur­ing the net­work’s sta­bil­i­ty and resilience, espe­cial­ly in a set­ting where reli­able con­nec­tiv­i­ty is of utmost impor­tance. This on-site work fol­lows a peri­od of rig­or­ous test­ing in a con­trolled lab envi­ron­ment, where the net­work was put through its paces to ensure it could han­dle the demands of a hos­pi­tal set­ting. The team is con­fi­dent that the net­work will pro­vide the high-qual­i­ty, reli­able con­nec­tiv­i­ty that Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal needs. The team’s pres­ence at the hos­pi­tal marks an excit­ing step for­ward. It’s reward­ing to see the project tak­ing shape and work­ing close­ly with the hos­pi­tal staff to ensure a smooth instal­la­tion process and min­i­mize dis­rup­tion.

Once the BBUs and core solu­tion are inte­grat­ed, oper­a­tion the­atres, and patient wards have a ful­ly func­tion­al Pri­vate 5G SA net­work. Fur­ther tests will be con­duct­ed to opti­mize the net­work’s per­for­mance. This will pave the way for the final stages of deploy­ment, includ­ing the inte­gra­tion of wire­less wear­able tech­nolo­gies from WICOAR Tech­nolo­gies OY.

This is a tes­ta­ment to the hard work and ded­i­ca­tion of the team, who are among the best experts in the field. The project remains com­mit­ted to deliv­er­ing a cut­ting-edge net­work that will trans­form health­care at Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal and open a new era of patient care.

About Hola 5G Oulu:

Hola 5G Oulu is a pio­neer­ing ini­tia­tive led by Bol­dyn Net­works, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with WICOAR Tech­nolo­gies, Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal, Pohde and the Uni­ver­si­ty of Oulu. The project aims to lever­age 5G tech­nol­o­gy and wear­able solu­tions to enhance patient care, improve effi­cien­cy, and empow­er health­care pro­fes­sion­als.
