APPLIED COMMUNICATIONS GROUP
Technology keeps healthcare moving. When communication breaks, systems lag, or security fails, patient care suffers. That’s the problem many hospitals and clinics face today; outdated systems that can’t keep up with the demands of modern healthcare.
Applied Communications Group (ACG) helps fix that. We design and install healthcare technology systems that make operations faster, safer, and more connected. Our team works with hospitals, clinics, and senior care centers across Chicago and the Midwest, delivering systems that work right the first time and keep working long after installation.
We’re known for our hands-on service, certified technicians, and attention to detail. With ACG, you get technology that supports your mission of providing better patient care without the constant worry of downtime or failure.
Every healthcare facility runs differently. A busy emergency department doesn’t have the same needs as a research lab or senior living center. ACG listens first, then builds customized systems that fit your space, your staff, and your daily operations.
Below is a quick look at the services we provide for healthcare facilities across the region:
| Service | What It Does | Why It Matters in Healthcare |
|---|---|---|
| Structured Cabling | End-to-end cabling for data, voice, and fiber systems | Keeps communication fast, organized, and compliant with healthcare standards |
| Audio Visual Solutions | AV systems for telehealth, training, and patient communication | Improves collaboration and information sharing |
| Access Control & CCTV | Security systems for staff, patients, and facilities | Protects sensitive areas and supports HIPAA compliance |
| Paging & Intercom Systems | Reliable paging and emergency alert systems | Keeps teams connected during daily operations or critical events |
| In-Building Wireless, WiFi & DAS | Boosts wireless coverage and connectivity | Reduces dead zones and supports telemedicine and staff communication |
| Outside Plant Services | Underground fiber installation and maintenance | Ensures stable network connections across hospital campuses |
A strong digital foundation starts with reliable cabling. Our team installs CAT6, CAT6A, and fiber optic cabling designed to handle the constant flow of data in healthcare environments. From nurse call systems to diagnostic imaging networks, we ensure every connection is clean, organized, and future-ready.
We also plan around your schedule, working after hours or in phases to minimize disruption.
Clear communication matters more than ever in healthcare. ACG installs audio visual systems that simplify how teams connect; whether through virtual consultations, medical training, or internal briefings.
Our healthcare AV systems include video conferencing setups, control panels, digital signage, and large-format displays that keep information flowing in real time across your facility.
Security in healthcare isn’t just about protecting assets. It’s about protecting people. ACG designs and installs access control and video surveillance systems that safeguard staff, patients, and restricted areas like pharmacies, labs, and data centers.
We integrate our systems with your existing network, giving you full visibility and remote monitoring capabilities; all while maintaining strict security compliance.
Hospitals rely on instant communication. ACG installs paging and intercom systems that keep departments connected and alert during emergencies. We also integrate nurse call systems and IP-based intercoms, so every message gets through, even when seconds matter.
Our goal is simple: help your staff respond faster and communicate clearly, no matter the situation.
Dead zones in hospitals slow everything down; from patient records to critical calls. ACG installs WiFi networks and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) that deliver strong, consistent coverage throughout your facility.
We start with a detailed site survey to identify problem areas, then build a wireless system that supports patient WiFi, staff devices, and emergency communication systems without signal dropouts.
Reliable connectivity begins outside the building. ACG’s outside plant services include underground fiber installation, splicing, and restoration for hospitals and medical campuses.
Our team uses directional drilling and other low-impact methods to install underground cabling with minimal disruption, ensuring your network backbone is strong from the ground up.
Your healthcare facility deserves systems that work as hard as your team does. ACG builds and supports technology that strengthens communication, improves safety, and keeps your operation running smoothly.

It depends on the size of the facility and the project scope. Smaller upgrades can take a few days, while full-scale hospital rewiring may take several weeks. ACG plans projects in phases to minimize disruption to daily operations.
Yes. We coordinate closely with your staff to schedule installations during off-peak hours or non-clinical times to avoid interrupting patient care.
Absolutely. All ACG installations meet current healthcare compliance standards, including HIPAA security requirements for IT infrastructure and access control systems.
We’ve completed projects for hospitals, urgent care centers, senior living facilities, research labs, and outpatient clinics across Chicago and the Midwest.
Yes. Our team specializes in system integration, so new equipment can work smoothly with what you already have in place.
