Yellow Power Hospital: the network a new hospital is built on
A new private hospital in New Legon, Accra, needed the cabling and fibre backbone that every clinical system, Wi-Fi access point and phone will depend on. We are delivering it.
The challenge
In a new building, the network is decided long before anyone switches on a computer. Cable routes, telecom rooms and the backbone between them have to go in while the walls are open, alongside the electrical and mechanical works. Mistakes made at this stage are expensive to fix once the hospital is running, because wards cannot simply be closed for rework.
What we are building
- A fibre-optic backbone between the core and the distribution points, so each floor has fast, interference-free links to the main equipment room.
- Structured cabling to clinical and administrative areas, ready for workstations, phones, Wi-Fi access points and other networked devices.
- Testing and labelling of every link, with as-built documentation at handover.
Why it matters
Everything the hospital adds later, such as its patient records system, Wi-Fi, phones, CCTV and nurse call, travels over this cabling. Tested links and accurate records mean the next engineer can trace any fault quickly, and the hospital can add equipment without opening walls again.
