When Every Second Counts: The Connectivity Standard Healthcare Deserves
Hospitals don’t have time for outages. Here’s how BelWave helps healthcare systems stay online when lives are on the line.
The Hidden Risk Hospitals Face
In healthcare, the stakes are higher than in any other industry. When connectivity fails, it’s not just an inconvenience — it can interrupt patient care, delay test results, and disrupt life-saving communications. Hospitals and clinics depend on reliable networks for everything from telemedicine sessions to diagnostic uploads and secure EMR access.
The challenge? Many healthcare systems in North Texas still rely on single-source internet connections that are vulnerable to outages caused by construction, fiber cuts, or regional carrier failures. For organizations delivering critical care, even a few minutes offline can cost more than productivity — it can cost trust.
A Network That Keeps Up With Healthcare Growth
That was the challenge facing Decatur Hospital Authority (DHA) as it began expanding healthcare access across North Texas. Their main hospital in Decatur was experiencing persistent outages, limiting communications and slowing operations.
BelWave stepped in to deliver a high-capacity, redundant internet link that eliminated downtime and enabled reliable VoIP service across departments. As DHA’s network grew, BelWave connected new clinics in Alliance, Argyle, and Bridgeport, installing dedicated point-to-point links that guaranteed speed and uptime between locations.
The result? 100% uptime at DHA’s core facilities — and the confidence to expand into new communities knowing their network could scale with them.
“BelWave has supported us through every stage of growth—from a single hospital connection to a full network of clinics and specialty facilities. Their reliability and responsiveness made them a key part of our infrastructure.
— Todd Scroggins, CEO, Decatur Hospital Authority
Redundancy Isn’t a Luxury — It’s a Requirement
Hospitals can’t afford to rely on one path for connectivity. That’s why BelWave’s healthcare networks are built on a hybrid foundation of fixed wireless and fiber.
Fixed wireless provides an independent path that bypasses ground-level fiber cuts or construction delays.
Fiber delivers high-capacity performance where infrastructure allows.
Together, they create a self-healing system that automatically fails over in the event of disruption — keeping EMR systems, imaging files, and telehealth platforms online without interruption.
BelWave also monitors every circuit 24/7 and provides direct access to local engineers, ensuring that if an issue ever arises, it’s resolved in minutes, not hours or days.
Why Local Matters in Healthcare Connectivity
Unlike large telecom providers, BelWave’s team is based right here in North Texas — close to the hospitals, clinics, and healthcare organizations we serve. That proximity means faster installs, personalized support, and the ability to design networks that fit each facility’s unique footprint.
From rural clinics to multi-building medical campuses, our approach combines real people and reliable technology to create networks healthcare leaders can trust.
