CASE STUDY
OYS: Europe’s first private 5G network in an operating hospital
Tested in operating hospital for high stakes medical scenarios - even brain surgeries. With ultra-reliable, interference-free connectivity, private 5G is boosting efficiency and transforming care.
Hola 5G Oulu
A new era of healthcare, powered by private 5G
The Hola 5G Oulu project brings private 5G connectivity directly to patient wards and surgical theatres - eliminating inefficiencies with wearable, wireless solutions. By freeing staff from computer screens, it empowers nurses and doctors to focus more on patients, see more cases daily, and ultimately deliver better care and outcomes.
What are the benefits of Hola 5G Oulu?
Up to 50% of doctors’ and nurses’ time is spent on computers. Manual data handling leads to errors, delays, and rising costs. Communication was slow and fragmented, often requiring staff to walk across hospital wings just to coordinate care. This project set out to change that, with a bold leap into smarter, faster, and more connected healthcare.
Improving patient care
Faster treatment. Smarter workflows. Better patient outcomes.
Reliable Connectivity
Seamless connectivity from wing-to-wing. Even during blackouts.
Voice comms
Staff stay connected and responsive through headsets tuned into group channels.
AR smart glasses
Real-time patient data, right where care happens. Delivered through AR.
HOLA 5G OULU CONSORTIUM
Transforming healthcare through collaboration
Joining forces with Pohde, Oulu University Hospital, WICOAR Technologies, and the University of Oulu. The Hola 5G Oulu consortium is taking strides towards efficient healthcare operations and improved patient care.
