Caltta Technologies, the leading provider of mission and business-critical communications solutions, has recently delivered its ESC (Enhanced Conventional System) communications system to Qilu Hospital (a tertiary hospital affiliated with Shandong University) to enhance the communication capabilities within its emergency complex which spanning a construction area of 187,000 square meters.

Emergency medicine can be divided into emergency treatment and medical rescue, and emergency complex is an important place to guarantee victims’ timely and professional treatment. However, relying solely on MNO’s coverage may not meet the communication needs in emergency situations, leading to treatment delays or even loss of life due to signal congestion.

The implementation of Caltta ECS solution at Qilu Hospital's emergency complex has addressed this issue by providing complete signal coverage with zero blind spot. This enables doctors, nurses, and staff to communicate seamlessly, and saving valuable time in patient treatment.

Caltta ECS system takes the advantages of Caltta DMR system, it not only has the characteristics of flexible deployment and low expenditure of the conventional system, but also overcomes the weaknesses of the conventional system, such as low utilization rate of each channel. The ECS system can realize channel sharing of multiple conventional channels within a site, achieve load balancing among channels, and improve system utilization.

The Caltta ECS solution at Qilu Hospital provides the following functionalities:

1. Complete wireless coverage with zero blind spots, including indoor and underground areas.

2. Interoperability with the legacy PMR system to meet the hospital's communication needs.

3. Stacked repeaters that fulfill voice communication requirements and enable unified dispatch during emergencies.

4. Reserved capacity for future expansion to accommodate the increasing number of system users.

The advantages of the Caltta ECS solution include:

• Flexible channel allocation:

  The solution enables automatic and flexible allocation of traffic channels based on availability and transmission requirements.

• Increased capacity:

  By connecting multiple repeaters within a site, the system can support simultaneous communication among multiple groups, significantly increasing channel capacity.

• Reliable network:

  In the event of a repeater failure, the controlling channel can detect the issue and replace it with another repeater, ensuring network stability.

• Rich services:

  The Caltta ECS solution offers various command and dispatch services, including emergency calls, private calls, group calls, and all calls. The system also supports visualized operations such as positioning and trajectory playback, enhancing dispatching efficiency within the hospital.

Supported by the National Health Commission and Shandong Province, Caltta is making another big step forward for social healthcare. With the fast development of PMR products and solutions, Caltta will continue to provide the best class technology and solution to public health sectors and save more lives.
