4G/5G for Ambulance

4G/5G for Ambulance

With waiting times at an all time high, an in-vehicle solution from Westbase Networks can leverage the benefits of 4G/5G for ambulance services, enabling them to respond more quickly and effectively. In addition, by connecting technologies such as body worn cameras can also help to better protect your paramedic teams in the field, so they can do their jobs unhindered by abuse.

These devices are either currently undergoing the approval process or have otherwise already been approved by the Home Office (please call for details).
