The free Free Wi-Fi Minsk network has become available in Minsk since April 19. Both residents of the city and its guests, including foreigners, can use it. Entitled Free Wi-Fi Minsk more than 100 public access points installed by the Delovaya Network company are united.
“Previously, you could use free Internet access by connecting to Wi-Fi networks.BN.BY. This is a test name that was not the most understandable, especially for foreigners. We studied the experience of European capitals and decided to combine all our free Wi-Fi points into a single network called Free Wi-Fi Minsk"- explained CEO LLC "Business Network" Pavel Alekseenko.
The network currently includes 115 public Wi-Fi access sites. The Free Wi-Fi Minsk network can be used in many large shopping centers, dozens of cafes, A-100 gas stations, a number of hospitals, hotels, and bank branches. To connect, you need to enter your mobile number and receive a password for it. Subsequent authorizations on the network will take place automatically for the user. Once connected, you can use the network for free for an unlimited amount of time, the company explained.
Business Network plans to develop and expand the Free Wi-Fi Minsk network, adding new access points to it. Yes, already in 2018 public wifi will appear at the Oktyabrskaya and Kupalovskaya metro stations.
Map of free Wi-Fi hotspots in Minsk
Free networks exist in almost all major European cities. In some they belong to municipalities, in others they were built by private companies. Free Wi-Fi Minsk is a private initiative, which was implemented without the involvement of public funds and is aimed at expanding the access of residents and guests of the capital to free access to the Internet. We hope that the city authorities will support our initiative and the number of outlets will continue to grow steadily, the company notes.
In Barcelona there are about 630 access points with a speed of 256 Kbps, in Berlin - 650, in Paris - about 400. In most European cities, the time and speed of using public Wi-Fi are limited. Business Network decided not to introduce limits on Internet connection speed in the Free Wi-Fi Minsk network.
Society with limited liability Business Network was founded in December 1998. The company specializes in providing services in the B2B segment for high-speed data transfer and providing its infrastructure as the foundation for launching innovative services. Clients of "Business Network" are companies in the banking sector, retailers, Belarusian and foreign manufacturing companies, representative offices foreign countries And international companies, telecommunications service providers, government bodies and institutions, IT sector.
Free Wi-Fi is no longer a luxury, but an everyday necessity. At train stations and airports, in cafes and hotels. And for some time now, the wireless network has already enveloped clinics and hospitals. Chairman of the Health Committee of the Minsk City Executive Committee Sergei Malyshko confirms: the task has been set to equip all Minsk health care institutions with free Wi-Fi, and reserves are now being sought. In the meantime, it is available at ten medical addresses, in particular, in six hospitals. What are the pros and cons for patients?
Irina Bogutskaya
A sure sign of almost any children's department is boys and girls rushing along the corridors. Even crutches and a cast have never been a hindrance in this, the acting director notes with a smile. Deputy Chief Physician of the 6th Minsk Clinical Hospital, Chief Freelance Children's Traumatologist-Orthopedist of the Health Committee of the Minsk City Executive Committee Stanislav Tretyak. But now there is a router hanging from the ceiling and the corridors are unusually quiet: young patients are immersed in their tablets. Communicate in in social networks, watch videos, play online games. Adults too, by the way. The girl Daria, who has just undergone knee surgery, admits: it’s good that there is Wi-Fi. You can watch movies and thereby while away the monotonous everyday life. Mobile Internet? No thanks, too expensive.
And it all began, they remember the backstory in the hospital, with “goodies” for patients in luxury wards.
There are documents that regulate what must be available in such chambers: Appliances, furniture, tableware. But we are aimed at making patients’ stay in the clinic as comfortable as possible, and this is helped by the Wi-Fi zone. Patients coming from abroad can always use this service to contact relatives; they also cannot do without it business people who, while in the hospital, solve their work issues, explains leading economist Irina Bogutskaya.
Stanislav Tretyak: the traumatology department was equipped with a router during renovation
We started with traumatology - the department was equipped with routers during renovations. The signal is so good that it can be heard almost throughout the entire body. It just doesn't make it to the emergency department. Over time, Wi-Fi appeared in the osteomyelitis department, as well as in the maternity hospital. It’s profitable for the hospital, the service costs only 563 rubles per month, and it’s convenient for patients. And great help for doctors. For self-development as well.
Doctors abroad do not hesitate to go to a specialized orthopedic website from a tablet before an operation and clarify certain nuances for themselves and watch the corresponding video. And we come to this,” notes Stanislav Tretyak.
But in dental clinics In any case, you won’t be bored with nothing to do. Unless someone arrives before a clearly agreed time. Show up on time - you were accepted. Have your teeth treated - be free. However, 3 dental clinics provide free Wi-Fi service.
Competitive advantage? - I ask Mikhail Volchok, director of the 9th Minsk dentistry, on Zakharov Street.
Perhaps. This is also a global trend. Time is precious these days, and people use their smartphones to control where their children are, where mom and dad are, where cargo, goods, etc. Therefore, we have created conditions so that our patients, even while within the walls of the clinic, do not waste a single minute. The password is in plain sight for everyone. This is a matter of purely comfort, which we pay for from our own profits. And Wi-Fi is quite within our means.
Wi-Fi is a great help towhile away the monotonous everyday life
Alas, clinics can only dream of serious income from paid services: wrong volumes. Their activities are financed mostly from the budget, so wireless internet, head doctors admit, it is problematic to provide for patients, although they would do it with pleasure. Even in the ultra-modern new building clinics that have opened in recent years, say, in Brilevichi, Kamennaya Gorka, Loshitsa and Sukharevo, you can’t expect free Wi-Fi.
Although the question of whether it is needed or not is quite debatable, notes Svetlana Tsobkalo, chief physician The 10th clinic serving both adults and children in the Minsk microdistrict Sukharevo. - Free Wi-Fi can disrupt the work of an institution. Let’s say a patient can get information online and show the doctor: “Here are all my symptoms, here’s what they write about it on the Internet. Prescribe me this and that.” Whether he's right or wrong, the situation is awkward either way. Just today there was a similar case: the information that the patient gathered here and now from the Internet, she was misled. Dissatisfied with the doctor she came to me... So why would I provoke such situations? But on the other hand, when a person sits for a long time in line and waiting to see a specialist, he will be busy with business, reading the news, for example, and will not once again worry, get nervous and infuriate those around him.
The other side of the issue
European scientists have once again decided to warn: Wi-Fi affects the human body, which is far from safe. The 5 most obvious potential threats: harms the development of the child, promotes insomnia, adversely affects brain function, neutralizes sperm, causes cancer. Our arguments?
I am a supporter of evidence-based medicine. If there was a clear evidence base, including from the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Hygiene, regarding the fact that Wi-Fi is harmful, believe me, no one would allow routers to be hung in hospitals. And there are many opinions in any field of medicine, says Stanislav Tretyak.
Let's start with the fact that electromagnetic waves are used in physiotherapy, but the effect lasts only a few minutes. No one denies the negative effects of long-term exposure and above-threshold intensity, but when it is short-term, no problems will arise. For this to affect a person, the influence must be long, intense, and most importantly, constant. And we are talking about months! A person can experience much greater loads in his own kitchen if there is a microwave oven there. Another thing is that passion for smartphones is a scourge, an addiction that leads to the fact that secondary motives of life begin to dominate in the brain, and thinking about the most important ones moral categories“, about your well-being, about other intentions, say, to read a book, there is no time,” summarizes the deputy director of the Institute of Physiology of the National Academy of Sciences, academician Vladimir Kulchitsky.
City hospitals in Moscow can be equipped with a free Wi-Fi network, m24 reports.
The ability to provide wireless access to the network for patients in Moscow hospitals is confirmed by the Department information technologies.
Internet access points have also appeared in City Clinical Hospital No. 79, but there it is still a paid service.
The DIT notes that if the free Internet service is in demand, the Department will provide the technical ability to install access points everywhere.
Experts believe that the possibility of free access to Internet will go to the benefit of patients, they will not feel "cut off from the world." At the same time, installation of equipment will not be the most expensive item for healthcare institutions - for complete “ coverings” A few routers are enough for a hospital area.

Free Wi-Fi for patients may appear in all Moscow hospitals, writes m24.ru. It is assumed that patients while in hospital will be able to use the Internet for free.
The press service of the capital’s information technology department said that as an experiment, two medical institutions have already been equipped with Wi-Fi access points. This is city hospital No. 79 and GBU .
Free Wi-Fi for patients may appear in all Moscow hospitals, said Olga Sharapova, a member of the Moscow City Duma commission on healthcare.
She told M24 that in the fall she will appeal to the capital’s authorities with a recommendation to organize free Wi-Fi in hospitals for patients. . . . . .
The Moscow Department of Information Technologies explained that they are technically ready to provide all metropolitan hospitals with free access to the Internet via Wi-Fi and are already conducting the first pilot projects in two medical institutions.
The capital's hospitals may soon be equipped with wireless Internet access, which can be used by all clinic patients. Currently, the Moscow Information Technology Department has equipped two city hospitals with free Wi-Fi. If new service will be in demand by patients, the opportunity to chat with friends on social networks, solve work issues by e-mail and play your favorite online games will appear in other metropolitan hospitals. This is reported by informational portal M24.ru
Olga Sharapova, a member of the Moscow City Duma commission on healthcare, plans to approach the capital authorities with the initiative to equip Moscow hospitals with free Wi-Fi. By the way, at City Clinical Hospital No. 64, of which she is the head physician, wireless access to the network is already organized.
“In our hospital, we have installed free Wi-Fi for patients in all buildings. They can not only watch TV, but also communicate via the Internet with their colleagues, friends, and also leave their opinion about the hospital and the doctor.”, - Olga Sharapova told a correspondent of the online publication.
In turn, the capital’s Department of Information Technology (DIT) stated that they are technically ready “ entangle” all metropolitan hospitals are connected to the Internet. Moreover, a pilot project to equip hospitals with free Wi-Fi has already started in two medical institutions: City Clinical Hospital No. 79 and the Scientific and Practical Center medical care children with developmental defects of the craniofacial region and congenital diseases of the nervous system. If patients actively use this service, the DIT will equip other medical institutions with network access points.
Currently take advantage free internet possible in 13 city parks, capital metro trains and suburban electric trains of the Savelovsky, Belorussky and Kursk directions, in addition, there are 450 stops in Moscow public transport, where you can also access the Internet.
Free Wi-Fi for patients may appear in the capital's hospitals, reports the portal M24.ru with reference to Olga Sharapova, a member of the Moscow City Duma commission on health care. With this recommendation, the deputy can turn to the capital authorities in the fall , noted in the material.

At the Cardinal Santos Medical Center, an elite medical institution city of San Juan (Philippines), a Wi-Fi network covering all buildings has recently appeared. The hospital's new wireless network is used for more than just providing patients with free wireless Internet.
“One of the short-term goals of implementing a wireless network in the hospital is to provide Internet access to our employees and patients,” says Allen Bacallan, vice president and director. information service hospitals. “But the main challenge is to provide communications for medical equipment.”
According to him, thanks to the creation of an innovative network infrastructure, it was possible not only to improve the quality and safety of patient care, but also to increase staff productivity.
Wi-Fi for doctors
As Bacallan points out, a typical medical center in the Philippines consists of a main hospital building and a clinical building housing medical specialists. The Cardinal Santos clinical building has four floors and more than 400 rooms, staffed by approximately 600 doctors. The main building of the hospital is seven stories high.
According to Bacallan, his subordinates managed to cover both buildings with a Wi-Fi network thanks to the help of Internet provider Ruckus Wireless.
The project was launched at the beginning of 2010. The medical center installed 52 wireless access points and used them to create a mesh Wi-Fi network, accessible even in the most remote corners of both buildings.
“Thanks to the Internet, doctors can prescribe lab tests using an online system without having to go to the main building in person,” explains Bacallan.
Physicians can also use the clinical administrative system, which stores medical history all patients.
But why did the hospital decide to use a wireless network, although all the same problems can be solved using a cable network? “I’m even scared to imagine the process of laying cables in 400 offices,” admits Bacallan. “In addition, we would have to expand the existing communication channel between the clinical and main buildings.” To avoid unnecessary work, the director of information services at the medical center decided that it would be best to organize a wireless network.
In his opinion, wireless connection could also be used to electronically prescribe medications to patients on tablet computers, although a final decision on this has not yet been made.
Wi-Fi for devices
Wireless Internet in a medical center is needed not only by doctors. The decision to implement a Wi-Fi network was made primarily out of a desire to equip the hospital with high-tech medical equipment that requires wireless communication.
Among the innovations is a patient workflow management system, which records the patient’s stay at each stage of treatment. “The system records all events from the patient’s admission to emergency department before being transferred to a ward and undergoing various procedures and tests,” explains Bacallan.
Previously, this was done manually, using notes in the patient's medical record. Now, thanks to a computerized system, the hospital administration can control how long it takes to see each specialist and perform medical procedures.
Another type of equipment that could be connected wirelessly is dispensing and dispensing machines for patients. Modern infusion pumps, Bacallan explains, do not require a high IV to infuse medications into a patient's circulatory system.
“These are factory-calibrated machines that are essentially small computers that alert the doctor when a patient is having a negative reaction to a medication,” he continues. “They also sound an alarm when any of the patient's vital signs are abnormal.” As Bacallan points out, infusion pumps are centrally controlled from a server connected via Wi-Fi, so they require a highly reliable wireless infrastructure. The medical center currently uses about 100 such pumps. Unlike traditional IVs, they allow very precise control of the frequency and speed of infusion.
Wi-Fi for medical records
According to the American HIPAA law, medical institutions must implement electronic information exchange mechanisms and switch to electronic medical records.
“This law requires that all patient information be in digital format so that it can be accessed by any hospital,” explains Bacallan. - But why not immediately register information about the patient in electronic form so that not only medical records are digital?”
According to Bacallan, Wi-Fi will also be useful for this task, since information after registration must be transferred to a central server for safe storage. “Eventually, the hospital will be a completely electronic environment,” he adds.
The medical center piloted tablet computers to replace patient records, but the project had to be suspended because electronic media are not legally binding in court and could cause complications if a lawsuit were brought against the hospital.
Wi-Fi for buildings
Covering the medical center with a Wi-Fi network was not so easy. However, according to Bacallan, thanks to the partnership with Ruckus Wireless, it was possible to implement a cost-effective solution that met all customer requirements. The first requirement was to limit the number of access points to cover the entire medical center in order to save costs. “The second was the quality of the Wi-Fi connection - access must be uninterrupted throughout the hospital,” Bacallan points out.
Another requirement was to have sophisticated network controls to effectively manage bandwidth across all segments. According to Bacallan, Ruckus Wireless met all of the above requirements.
The access points provided by the provider support both horizontal and vertical signal propagation, thanks to which each of them manages to cover not only the floor on which the AP is installed, but also the floors above and below. As Bacallan notes, traditional APs provide only horizontal signal propagation.
Access points are equipped with an administrative utility that allows you to manage bandwidth usage, content access, and billing.
The medical center has free and paid Wi-Fi zones, the bandwidth of which is regulated using the management utility. “If users in one zone abuse the channel, other zones are not affected,” Bacallan emphasizes.
In addition, the medical center has the opportunity to offer a wireless channel for money to tenants - food establishments, pharmacies, etc. and charge them a monthly fee for using Wi-Fi.
Thus, new network allowed not only to improve service in the medical center itself, but also to obtain new sources of income.
You want to provide reliable wireless network coverage for patient care using mobile devices? Are doctors and patients at your healthcare facility complaining about poor network connectivity? Do you need easy-to-deploy, cost-effective wireless infrastructure to enable new solutions and improve patient care?
In patient care, faster and more reliable Wi-Fi is critical to making processes more efficient and improving outcomes.
