Verizon Enhances Healthcare Connectivity with Neutral Host Private 5G Networks at Multiple Hospitals

Healthcare providers such as AdventHealth and Tampa General Hospital have partnered with Verizon Business to implement a combination of Neutral Host and Private 5G Networks to address the growing operational complexities in healthcare communication. The surge in electronic patient records, connected medical devices, and telehealth services has led to increased data demands and device density, creating bottlenecks that can hinder clinical and administrative efficiency. Verizon's Neutral Host Network supports patients, visitors, and public users by providing strengthened mobile signals without authentication requirements, while the Private 5G Network focuses on mission-critical operations with dedicated bandwidth and enhanced security. This dual-network approach allows healthcare campuses to accommodate diverse user groups with varying connectivity needs, ensuring reliable, secure, and scalable network solutions that improve patient experience and operational workflows. Verizon's successful contracts with major healthcare institutions underscore its pivotal role in modernizing healthcare infrastructure and future-proofing facilities for ongoing digital transformation. Ericsson is the vendor for the on-premises network deployments, highlighting a collaborative effort in advancing healthcare connectivity.
