In a 10-year agreement, the Veterans Affairs Caribbean
Healthcare System has selected T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) as its
primary wireless provider to help healthcare professionals in 15
locations across Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands connect
seamlessly to the veterans they serve. T-Mobile will provide
wireless lines and mobile internet hotspots for VA healthcare
professionals as well as enhanced in-building 5G coverage for the
San Juan VA hospital and an outpatient clinic in Mayaguez, Puerto
Rico.
The reliability and low latency of T-Mobile's leading 5G helps
improve efficiencies across the VA hospitals in Puerto Rico and the
US Virgin Islands by providing:
- Seamless communication between healthcare providers, patients
and their families within and beyond the hospital walls.
- Enhanced in-building coverage to help the hospital in disaster
situations, offering crucial services including medical care,
communication facilities, disaster response coordination and
support for affected individuals.
- The ability to implement an advanced telehealth solution,
enabling remote medical consultations, improving patient care and
increasing access to healthcare services.
"We're honored to support VA healthcare professionals across
Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands in their life-saving work,"
said Callie Field, President, T-Mobile Business Group. "Our leading
5G enables us to partner with our healthcare customers on unique
solutions – from working with Boston Children’s Hospital on
healthcare’s first 5G hybrid network to helping VA Caribbean
Healthcare system doctors and staff stay seamlessly connected to
relief workers and the wider community in the most dire situations.
That’s the impact of 5G.”
T-Mobile's 5G network not only paves the way for other VA
centers in the Caribbean Healthcare System to embrace this
technology but also unlocks the potential for a spectrum of
next-generation healthcare solutions — innovations like augmented
and virtual reality applications and advanced patient
monitoring.
