Burgenland sets standards: New 5G network revolutionizes healthcare!

The Burgenland enthusiastically inspires with a groundbreaking step in the digitization of the healthcare system! In May 2024, Austria's first clinic with an independent 5G campus network was opened in Oberwart. The next clinics in Kittsee, Güssing, Oberpullendorf and the headquarters in Eisenstadt followed quickly, which means that the health of Burgenland is one of the few institutions in Europe with an self-sufficient 5G network. This technological progress means the end of outdated communication systems such as DECT telephones and pagers, and enables medical staff to use modern end devices that optimally combine all communication processes, such as Chamber of Labor Burgenland .

With these innovative measures, Burgenland positions itself at the head of the digital transformation in healthcare and is part of the exclusive ranks of digital pioneer, while comparable projects in European cities such as Oulu, Finland or Leipzig, Germany, are currently rare. The fact that the Burgenland has a completely independent 5G network ensures that a stable data connection is guaranteed even with electricity or network failures. So the healthcare system not only becomes more modern, but also safer!
