Advancing healthcare with mission-critical wireless: Korea University Medicine beamforms the right connections

Advancing healthcare with mission-critical wireless: Korea University Medicine beamforms the right connections

The university hospital is redefining healthcare connectivity with a seamless, secure wireless network designed to keep pace with evolving medical innovations.

How can a university hospital set a new standard for smart hospital connectivity, mission-critical wireless reliability and security, and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) innovation — especially in a country like South Korea, which ranks among the most advanced countries in this technology?

On 30 July 2025, Korea University Medicine (KUM) announced the completion of a year-long wireless network transformation across its three hospital campuses that had been started in February 2024.

The project addresses longstanding issues with an outdated network struggling with coverage gaps, slow data speeds, and congestion from rising IoMT device use, which had been hindering healthcare operations.

KUM’s digital transformation has focused on creating a resilient, scalable wireless infrastructure capable of supporting the performance and reliability demands of modern healthcare environments. Key technical elements of the solution include:

  • A distributed wireless architecture eliminating traditional centralized controller bottlenecks
  • Enhanced network redundancy and security measures to protect sensitive patient data
  • Increased throughput supporting high-volume medical data transmission such as imaging systems
  • Reduced IoMT deployment costs through architecture simplification without separate scanning hardware
  • Seamless roaming capabilities enabling staff mobility with connected medical devices
  • Integration readiness for real-time location systems to optimize equipment tracking and resource use

This infrastructure-overhaul positions KUM to accelerate its journey towards a smart hospital model, enabling enhanced patient outcomes through continuous connectivity and technological advancement.

Commented KUM’s Head of Digital Transformation, Medical Intelligence & Data Hub, Yoon Ju Sung: “The network overhaul transformed a limiting infrastructure into a foundation for innovation. We saw measurable improvements in operational efficiency and could deploy advanced medical technologies that were previously constrained.”

According to Chunshik Shin, Country Business Leader (South Korea), Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, the firm that provided the networking solutions, the project demonstrates how a controller-less wireless design can meet healthcare’s mission-critical demands. “Addressing coverage gaps and network overload helps medical teams concentrate on patient care,” Shin noted.
