Cableless bed with wireless bedside speaker

The present disclosure provides a system and method for sickbed communication and bed-to-room association in a medical institution having a network with at least one wireless access point (WAP) and a nurse call system. The handheld unit is moved to a location within a pairing distance of the sickbed pairing area, thereby pairing the handheld unit with the bed using a first wireless communication technology. Bed identification data (ID) is transmitted to the handheld unit after the pairing operation is completed using a second wireless communication technology. The bed ID is transmitted from the handheld unit to a nurse call system over a wired connection to establish a bed-to-room association between the sickbed and a room in which the sickbed is located. The bed status data and the bed ID are transmitted to the WAP of the network using a third wireless communication technology. 本公开提供了一种具有带至少一个无线接入点(WAP)的网络和护士呼叫系统的医疗机构中用于病床通信和床到房间关联的系统和方法。手持单元移动到病床配对区域的配对距离之内的位置，从而利用第一无线通信技术使手持单元与床配对。利用第二无线通信技术在配对操作完成之后将床标识数据
