Client: Basingstoke Hospital NHS Healthcare – Basingstoke
Sector: Healthcare
Solution: Category 6 Cabling System Installation for Refurbished Rooms
Project Scope: Blood Testing, X-ray Rooms, Offices, and Waiting Areas

Overview: Basingstoke Hospital required an upgrade to its network infrastructure as part of a refurbishment project covering key areas such as blood testing, X-ray rooms, offices, and waiting areas. Choice Networks was selected to design and install a Category 6 data cabling system to ensure high-speed, reliable network performance across these vital areas.

The Challenge: One of the most significant challenges faced during this project was the need to minimise disruption to hospital operations. Given the sensitive nature of the areas being refurbished, including blood testing and X-ray rooms, the installation had to be strategically planned. Much of the heavy work was carried out during the evening, when hospital foot traffic was lower, providing easier access to certain cable routes along pedestrian walkways.

Our Solution: To meet the hospital’s needs, Choice Networks installed a Category 6 data cabling system throughout the refurbished rooms, ensuring reliable, high-speed network connectivity. The project involved careful planning to minimise disruptions to both patients and staff, with evening installations to ensure the smooth progression of the hospital’s daily operations.

Key elements of the installation included:

Category 6 Cabling: The newly installed cabling ensures fast, secure data transfer, supporting the hospital’s advanced medical equipment and administrative functions.
Specialist Areas Coverage: The network was extended to specialist areas, including blood testing rooms, X-ray rooms, offices, and waiting rooms, ensuring that all critical hospital departments benefited from improved connectivity.
Minimising Disruption: By conducting heavy works during the evening, we were able to limit disruptions to hospital operations and ensure safe access to key cable routes along pedestrian walkways.
Results: Basingstoke Hospital now benefits from an upgraded network infrastructure that supports its medical and administrative functions. The new Category 6 cabling system ensures that essential areas, including blood testing and X-ray rooms, have the reliable and high-speed connectivity needed for efficient hospital operations. By carefully planning the installation around hospital schedules, we minimised disruption while delivering a future-proof network solution.
