Hospitals & Medical Facilities
Reliable mobile connectivity is essential in healthcare — for staff communication, patient safety systems and visitor access. Nextivity Cel-Fi systems are specifically engineered to operate safely alongside sensitive medical equipment without causing interference.
- Low-power coverage units, positioned with your estates team
- Full coverage in wards, theatres, corridors and car parks
- Supports staff communications and mobile-enabled clinical systems
- Installed with minimal disruption to live hospital environments
- Ofcom-compliant, planned around your RF and medical device policies
Do signal boosters work in hospitals and medical facilities?
Yes — Nextivity Cel-Fi systems provide reliable mobile coverage across wards, theatres, corridors and basements. For large or multi-building hospital sites, Zonegen typically designs a Cel-Fi QUATRA 4000e system covering EE, O2 and VodafoneThree, planned with your estates and clinical engineering teams and quoted after survey.
The problem
Why is mobile signal poor in hospitals and medical facilities?
Shielded and dense construction
Imaging suites, theatres and plant rooms are built with heavy concrete and shielding that blocks mobile signal.
Large, multi-building estates
Wards, outpatient blocks and car parks are spread across sites where signal varies building by building.
Basements and service corridors
Pharmacy, pathology, kitchens and estates teams often work below ground with no signal.
Always-on operations
Hospitals cannot close for installation, so work must be phased around live clinical areas.
The solution
Which signal booster is right for hospitals and medical facilities?

FAQs
Questions about signal boosters for hospitals and medical facilities
Is it safe to install a signal booster near medical equipment?
Cel-Fi coverage units are low-power devices that only rebroadcast licensed mobile signals already present outdoors. Zonegen plans antenna positions with your estates and clinical engineering teams and works to your site's RF and medical device policies.
Can you install without disrupting clinical areas?
Yes. Cable routes and equipment positions are agreed at survey, and work is phased around live wards, theatres and access needs.
Can one system cover several hospital buildings?
Yes. The Cel-Fi QUATRA 4000e Fibre Range Extender can link buildings or floors up to 2 km apart, so one system design can serve a whole campus.
Which networks will staff, patients and visitors get?
A QUATRA 4000e or GO G43 boosts all three UK networks — EE, O2 and VodafoneThree — so staff, patients and visitors all benefit, whichever network they use.
How is a hospital signal booster priced?
Hospital systems are sized to the estate, so Zonegen provides a firm quote after an on-site survey. The survey cost is refunded if you go ahead.
