i75 Handset

Ascom, founded in 1955, is the leading supplier for on-site wireless solutions with over 70,000 systems installed worldwide including over 20,000 in hospitals. Ascom offers the most comprehensive portfolio of wireless voice (Voice over WiFi and IP-DECT technologies) and messaging solutions (UNITE).

The Ascom FreeNET® Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) Solution is a standards-based clinical-grade wireless telephone solution that combines voice, messaging and personal alarm capabilities into a single, easy to use communication device, the i75 Medic handset. FreeNET, the industry’s first 802.11b/g solution, couples mission-critical full-duplex voice communications with powerful, yet flexible, messaging integrations with existing systems.

In addition to innovative voice options, Ascom’s UNITE Messaging Suite provides near instantaneous notifications from a hospital’s underlying information systems. UNITE’s Linux-based solutions can integrate with existing laboratory, radiology, HIS and IT systems, to name a few. Additionally, UNITE’s unique two-way communications capabilities allow for comprehensive notifications, message routings and escalations to internal and external messaging devices.

Any enterprise workplace can be enhanced by adding the Ascom FreeSet IP-DECT system, which utilizes industry standard TDM and VoIP telephone interfaces to provide a fully integrated wireless communication platform. Seamless call handover and automatic roaming features ensure reliability for mobile users. The FreeSet IP-DECT solution can be configured with one of two system types; IP-DECT base stations or IP-DECT Gateway. This professional grade communication solution may be integrated with IP-PBXs via a direct SIP interface or with TDM PBX’s via Ascom VoIP Gateways.

Ascom’s commitment to workflow efficiencies is one of the primary reasons Hill-Rom partnered with Ascom and is now an Ascom Certified Solution Partner.
