MANCHESTER, NH--(Marketwire - April 1, 2009) - Kelley Carr, president, Custom Solutions Group for Cellular Specialties, Inc. (CSI) -- a recognized leader in the design and implementation of in-building wireless products and solutions -- has been selected as a feature speaker at the HIMSS09 Annual Conference and Exhibition, McCormick Place Convention Center, Chicago, IL. Carr's presentation, "Hospital Wireless Deployment: Challenges & Solutions," will be held at the Wireless and Mobility Theater (Booth # 5859), Sunday, April 5, 2:15 - 3:00PM.

Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) is playing an ever-expanding role in the transformation of healthcare delivery, and HIMSS is leading the way. As an internationally respected voice, HIMSS teams up with organizations to advance and drive continued progress for the healthcare IT industry worldwide.

With mobile devices fast becoming one of the primary methods of communication and accessing data by caregivers, in-building wireless coverage is a necessity. Given the challenge of overcoming nonexistent or poor wireless signal quality in basements, stairwells and across campus environments, healthcare organizations are constantly seeking cost-effective solutions for ensuring ubiquitous wireless communications. Carr's presentation will present plausible solutions to address these issues while outlining the common -- and not so common -- pitfalls to avoid while deploying.

With numerous wireless installations throughout the healthcare industry, CSI stands out from other vendors as the only in-building wireless vendor approved by all the major wireless carriers -- a pedigree that greatly simplifies installation and helps reduce project costs. The company's innovative system design also allows healthcare organizations such as Scottsdale's Health and Mercy Healthcare, to leverage existing cabling infrastructure without sacrificing future scalability as the institution's technical requirements evolve. CSI's knowledge and expertise of the ordinances implemented since 9/11 (all new buildings are required to have antennas to support police and fire radio frequencies) ensure that all new facilities follow code.

"Ubiquitous wireless communications are a 'must have' utility for healthcare environments," Carr said. "CSI has the expertise to ensure full wireless coverage regardless of carrier, building construction or distance. We are looking forward to imparting the best practices that have helped other healthcare facilities achieve full in-building wireless communications."
