Sekyere Kumawu District Hospital: a core network built to keep running
Working alongside the subcontractor's team, we installed and configured the servers, workstations, nurse call, Wi-Fi and PA systems at the district hospital in Kumawu.
The challenge
Everything in a hospital's IT meets in one place: the core network room. If it fails, records, phones, Wi-Fi and nurse call can fail with it. So the core has to be secure, cool, on backup power and tidy enough that an engineer can find a fault quickly, even in the middle of the night.
What we did
- Installed and configured the servers, with core switching and UPS power in a locked cabinet.
- Connected the fibre from each block to the core switch, with every run labelled.
- Set up workstations for clinical and administrative staff.
- Installed the nurse call system across the wards.
- Configured Wi-Fi coverage, and the public address and call systems.
The result
The hospital's systems were delivered in service, the same scope as at Adansi North District Hospital. Labelled fibre and a tidy, locked core room mean faults can be traced quickly and only authorised staff can reach the equipment.
