Overview
The Kidney Centre, one of Karachi’s leading renal care hospitals, was facing significant connectivity challenges that directly affected patient care and clinical operations. Large parts of the facility were considered gray areas with little to no Wi-Fi coverage. Critical systems. Barcode readers to digital reporting and inventory tools were operating manually or inefficiently due to unreliable connectivity.
The hospital relied on home-grade routers, which could not support medical workflows, staff concurrency, or secure clinical applications. Recognizing the need for a healthcare-grade wireless network, The Kidney Centre partnered with Jaffer Business Systems (JBS).
JBS deployed the Huawei eKitEngine AP361 Wi-Fi solution, a high-throughput, hardware-based access point designed for maximum coverage. The solution was fully tailored to the hospital’s infrastructure needs. With 50 access points deployed across the facility, 180+ staff members now operate on a unified, reliable, high-performance wireless network which transformed clinical efficiency and patient care.
Challenges
Gray Zones and Unreliable Connectivity
Significant areas within the hospital lacked Wi-Fi coverage, affecting medical devices and digital workflows.
Use of Non-Enterprise Home Routers
Existing consumer-grade routers could not support hospital-wide operations, high concurrency, or stable throughput.
Manual Processes in Clinical and Operational Areas
Bar-code scanning, inventory tracking, and digital patient reporting could not be executed consistently due to unstable connectivity.
Operational Delays and Inefficiency
Slow processes and network drop-offs affected service delivery, patient turnaround, and internal coordination.
Key benefits of the solution
- Hospital-wide Wi-Fi coverage with 50 enterprise access points
- Real-time patient reporting, vitals monitoring, and barcode workflows
- Digital inventory forecasting and operational planning
- Support for radiology and diagnostic software (Pixera)
- Improved staff efficiency with stable high-performance connectivity
- SLA-backed performance and network reliability
