Client: Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Medical Center
Sector: Healthcare
Service: Wireless Infrastructure Deployment
Business Challenge
To support its rapidly digitizing clinical workflows, Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Medical Center required a reliable and high-performance wireless network across its 9th and 10th floors. Doctors, nurses, and clinical staff depend on uninterrupted access to electronic medical records (EMR), diagnostic applications, and care coordination tools.
However, the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure suffered from inconsistent coverage, dead zones, and signal instability — resulting in delays in accessing patient information and disruptions in clinical workflows. In a hospital environment where every second matters, these connectivity gaps posed a direct risk to care quality and operational efficiency.
Solution
Flint International was engaged to modernize and stabilize the hospital’s wireless infrastructure, ensuring consistent, secure, and high-capacity connectivity tailored to healthcare environments. Our scope included design, deployment, optimization, and end-to-end coordination with hospital IT teams.
Our engagement covered:
- High-Performance Access Points: Strategic installation of enterprise-grade APs to maximize throughput and reliability.
- Coverage Optimization: Detailed RF planning and heat-mapping to eliminate dead zones and interference.
- Healthcare-Grade Security: Configuration aligned with medical IT compliance, secure authentication, and protected network segmentation.
- Seamless Integration: Close collaboration with in-house IT teams to ensure minimal disruption to ongoing medical services and zero downtime for clinical operations.
Solution Implementation Process
The deployment followed a structured methodology ensuring precision, safety, and operational continuity:
Phase 1 – Assessment & RF Planning
On-site surveys, signal diagnostics, and interference analysis to determine optimal AP density, placement, and bandwidth allocation for high-traffic clinical areas.
Phase 2 – Design & Configuration
Development of a secure wireless architecture with logical segmentation for clinical devices, staff mobility, and medical applications. Pre-staging and configuration of access points for rapid on-site activation.
Phase 3 – Deployment & Optimization
Physical installation, tuning, testing, and validation performed with minimal interruption to hospital activities. Live user testing ensured optimal performance under real clinical workloads.
Customer Benefits
- Seamless Clinical Connectivity: Doctors and nurses gain instant, uninterrupted access to EMRs, patient histories, and diagnostic tools.
- Enhanced Care Coordination: Improved real-time communication among clinical teams on mobile devices and hospital systems.
- Operational Efficiency: Reduction in workflow delays caused by network instability, resulting in faster clinical decision-making.
- Future-Ready Network: A scalable wireless backbone capable of supporting digital health applications, IoT medical devices, and hospital automation initiatives.
Result
Flint’s structured deployment and healthcare-grade wireless design enabled Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital to establish reliable, high-availability Wi-Fi across critical clinical floors. The upgraded infrastructure elevated staff productivity, strengthened patient care quality, and set the foundation for the hospital’s next phase of digital transformation.
