Connected Health & Social Care
Private 5G networks for care homes, community clinics, virtual wards, and social housing. Secure, reliable connectivity for health and social care — without enterprise pricing.
Remote consultations, virtual wards, telecare sensors, and smart care homes all depend on connectivity that's reliable, secure, and affordable. Commercial broadband SLAs are often cost-prohibitive for care settings. We build private networks that give health and social care providers the connectivity they need at a price that works.
What Private 5G Enables
Secure, reliable connectivity for every part of the care pathway — from hospital to home.
Remote Care & Consultations
High-bandwidth video streaming and real-time medical image sharing for remote consultations and clinical collaboration. Reduce patient travel, cut costs, and lower emissions.
Virtual Wards & Home Monitoring
IoT sensors supporting community-based welfare monitoring, medication adherence, predictive health tracking, and combating social isolation. Hospital-level care in the patient's home.
Smart Care Homes
Connected care homes with integrated monitoring, telecare, and communication systems. Replace fragmented connectivity with a single reliable network that supports staff and residents.
Social Housing IoT
Deploy IoT sensors across social housing for environmental monitoring, energy efficiency, and resident wellbeing. Close the connectivity gap in underserved communities.
The 2G/3G Switch-Off Is Coming
Thousands of telecare devices across the UK currently rely on 2G and 3G networks that are being phased out. Social care providers need viable replacement connectivity — and commercial broadband SLAs are often cost-prohibitive.
Private 5G networks offer a secure, affordable alternative that can support the next generation of telecare, smart housing, and remote monitoring.

Why Aerix
Enterprise 5G providers target large hospital trusts with six-figure contracts. But most care happens in the community — in care homes, social housing, and patients' own homes. These settings need reliable, secure connectivity at a price that stretched care budgets can actually afford. That's what we build.
