Success Stories

Healthcare - Birmingham Regional Emergency Medical Services System (BREMSS)

“We knew that the utility companies heavily rely on their own communications system in an emergency. Since SouthernLINC Wireless is a part of Southern Company, we recognized that they could provide us with the reliable service we needed.”
- Michael Minor, Assistant Director and Data Coordinator

Overview

The integrated wireless communications service from SouthernLINC Wireless is an ideal fit for BREMSS. Unlike broadcasting over commercial two-way radios, Push to Talk service from SouthernLINC Wireless enables private, instant communications by using iDEN (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network) technology from Motorola. Read the full story.

Benefits:

SouthernLINC Wireless improved communications for BREMSS in the following ways:

Instant communication: “The organization can use the SouthernLINC Wireless network to send short message alerts to all of the EMS providers in the region when a hospital becomes overloaded.
Reliability: “BREMSS uses SouthernLINC Wireless handsets to dispatch the LifeSaver medical helicopter. LifeSaver can travel anywhere in the SouthernLINC Wireless footprint and still connect with other EMS organizations using Push To Talk.”
Connectivity: “BREMSS trauma centers are linked via computers and the SouthernLINC Wireless network, allowing hospital staff to communicate internally and with other EMS providers regarding patient care and logistics."
