The Wi-Fi service, enabled by Aptilo Networks, will allow patients and their families to use secure high-speed broadband Internet during their stay. Physicians will enjoy easy access to the Internet. Previously, physicians were able to use only the hospital’s internal wireless network and had to do so using devices provided by CHW.
