Better Care and Patient Experience
With Healthcare Wi-Fi
Healthcare Wi-Fi is the key to better care and patient experience. It’s as close to a home away from home experience as patients can get in the digital age. In addition, use the Wi-Fi service as a digital, location-based information board and provide long-term Internet access to contractors.
A HYBRID BETWEEN
Enterprise and Hospitality Wi-Fi
Healthcare Wi-Fi solutions need to have Enterprise guest Wi-Fi functions. This includes setting up long-term accounts for contracted staff, allowing them to access selected equipment such as printers from their own devices.
A complete healthcare Wi-Fi solution also includes Hospitality Wi-Fi functions. Patients may pay for premium access, such as extra bandwidth for streaming video. Many healthcare providers also provide hotel facilities where patients can stay with their families.

Healthcare Wi-Fi as a Digital Information Board
It used to be that the captive portal was a tool to prevent Internet access for people that hadn’t paid for the Wi-Fi service. Now, it is a powerful tool to communicate with your customers – the patients.
Why not use the captive portal to inform patients of practical details in your department? You will not need the IT department to keep the portal up to date. With our captive portal manager, anyone, for example, the head nurse of a department, can make those updates. It is also possible to schedule updates of portals in time.
The information can be local; Wi-Fi zones can be defined down to a single Wi-Fi access point.
Get Our Most Wanted Functions
We have collected the most wanted enterprise guest Wi-Fi functions in our cloud service – the Enea Aptilo Guest Wi-Fi Cloud.
Or Built Something Tailored to Your Specific Needs
Our cloud service should cover most of a healthcare center’s needs. We have deployed healthcare Wi-Fi at large providers such as Dignity Health (former Catholic Healthcare West) and Medstar Health. However, suppose you have special requirements and need advanced integration. In that case, you may choose the Enea Aptilo SMP (software) or SMP-S (service on AWS) with the Enea Aptilo SMP Venue Wi-Fi Manager instead.
