Case Study: Saint Anne’s Hospital achieves reliable, low-cost push-to-talk communication with ZelloWork

Saint Anne's Hospital - Customer Case Study

Saint Anne’s Hospital needed a fast, affordable replacement for its fading Nextel push-to-talk system after Sprint announced the iDEN network shutdown in 2013. The hospital wanted a solution that could be deployed quickly, work across its existing devices, and avoid costly infrastructure upgrades, so it evaluated carrier PTT options before selecting ZelloWork from Zello.

Zello implemented ZelloWork over T-Mobile data and Wi‑Fi, giving Saint Anne’s Hospital reliable push-to-talk communication without new hardware or major network changes. The rollout covered 400 devices, and the hospital now uses Zello as part of a redundant communications system alongside SPOK. The solution helped save an estimated $24,000 per year in pager fees, improved communication speed and reliability, and has run continuously since 2013 with no major downtime.
