The Hola 5G Oulu project wins the Light Read­ing Lead­ing Lights Award

A pres­ti­gious recog­ni­tion in the ‘Out­stand­ing Use Case: Dri­ving Dig­i­tal Trans­for­ma­tion’ cat­e­go­ry went to the con­sor­tium involved in the project, Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal, Pohde – The Well­be­ing Ser­vices Coun­ty of North Ostro­both­nia, Uni­ver­si­ty of Oulu, and WICOAR Tech­nolo­gies.  

The Hola 5G Oulu project marks Europe’s first pri­vate 5G net­work deployed in a live hos­pi­tal envi­ron­ment, test­ed in high-stakes sce­nar­ios includ­ing patient wards and sur­gi­cal the­atres. Installed at Oulu Uni­ver­si­ty Hos­pi­tal (OYS), the net­work deliv­ers ultra-reli­able, inter­fer­ence-free con­nec­tiv­i­ty across patient wards and sur­gi­cal the­atres, intro­duc­ing a new era of smart, respon­sive care.

Key high­lights:

• Pri­vate 5G stand­alone net­work: Ensures seam­less, secure con­nec­tiv­i­ty, even dur­ing black­outs 
• AR Smart Glass­es: Deliv­er live patient data to clin­i­cians in sur­gi­cal the­atres and wards 
• Voice Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Head­sets: Enable instant coor­di­na­tion across hos­pi­tal wings 
• Wing-to-Wing Cov­er­age: Elim­i­nates frag­ment­ed com­mu­ni­ca­tion and boosts oper­a­tional effi­cien­cy 

This project is fund­ed by the Euro­pean Union.

Con­grat­u­la­tions to the team on this fan­tas­tic achieve­ment!
