Outlook Gardens Aged Care: (Wireless Access Point Completed Project)

Outlook Gardens Aged Care facility (OG) contacted EpicElec to ask for our assistance in upgrading their internal nurse emergency call systems. OG proposed the Vocera wireless pendants which required commercial grade wireless coverage. EpicElec (EE) and its team worked with BlueTeq who managed all the IT components of the project. BlueTeq Deployed Aerohive wireless access points and switching hardware, which EE installed.

This project was a two part process that involved EpicElec tendering for both projects that spanned over two years. Planning and implementation was paramount, working with aged care residents was a major operation. The Epicelec team had to ensure residents' care and safety was a high priority. This was done by liaising with Outlook Gardens management and nursing staff.
