Challenges

Kingsway Hospitals were looking to implement a real-time communications infrastructure solution that would provide the foundation to support 24x7 critical communications for patients and hospital staff.
The hospital wanted to upgrade their TDM exchange to Unified Communications. Their existing system was unable to provide the mobility, collaboration, and video conferencing they required.
A new solution would provide connectivity for staff, patients and a partner ecosystem, enabling them to connect to multiple devices and services.
