​In a strategic collaboration, WiFi SPARK and Talk Telecom successfully implemented a comprehensive MPLS network and VoIP cloud telephone solution across 130 NHS sites, enhancing connectivity and communication for patients and staff alike.

Client Overview:

WiFi SPARK specializes in delivering managed WiFi solutions, particularly within the healthcare sector, aiming to improve patient engagement and experience through robust connectivity services.

Challenge:

The NHS required a reliable and secure network infrastructure to support critical applications, including patient WiFi services and internal communications, across multiple sites. The existing infrastructure was fragmented, leading to inefficiencies and potential security vulnerabilities.​

Solution:

After evaluating several providers, WiFi SPARK partnered with Talk Telecom due to their technical expertise and proven project delivery capabilities. The collaboration led to the deployment of a 130-site MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) network, ensuring secure, high-performance connectivity across all locations. Additionally, a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) cloud telephone solution was implemented, modernizing the NHS's communication infrastructure and providing scalable, cost-effective telephony services. ​

Results:

The integrated MPLS and VoIP solutions have significantly improved network reliability and communication efficiency within the NHS facilities. Patients now enjoy seamless, free WiFi access, enabling them to stay connected with family and access entertainment during hospital stays, thereby enhancing their overall experience. Staff benefit from improved communication tools, facilitating better coordination and productivity. ​

Conclusion:

The partnership between WiFi SPARK and Talk Telecom exemplifies how tailored technological solutions can address specific challenges within the healthcare sector. By implementing a unified MPLS network and advanced VoIP telephony, the NHS has enhanced both patient satisfaction and operational efficiency, setting a benchmark for future digital transformation initiatives.

What Is VoIP and Why You Need It Before the 2027 PSTN Switch-Off

BT Openreach has announced that by the end of January 2027, all PSTN and ISDN services will be switched off in favour of an All-IP network.
