Case Study: Al Zahra Hospital Dubai achieves 50% staff productivity increase and enhanced patient experience with HPE Aruba Networking

Al Zahra Hospital Dubai Enhances Staff Productivity and Patient Experience with Aruba Mobile-First Network

Al Zahra Hospital Dubai needed to upgrade its network to provide modern, high-speed Wi‑Fi across patient wards, labs, clinics and for patients themselves. The IT team required 802.11ac performance with high availability, security, scalability and simple manageability, plus reasonable TCO and flexible SLAs to support clinical and administrative workflows.

They chose Aruba and deployed 200+ 802.11ac APs, Aruba 2920 backbone switches and mobility controllers, completing the rollout in under two weeks. The mobile‑first network delivered hospital‑wide gigabit Wi‑Fi, enabled bedside access, guest connectivity, wireless IP phones and BYOD, boosted staff productivity by 50% and noticeably improved the patient experience, with plans to add bedside tablets next.
