This paper presents a proposal for a solution for rapid provisioning of broadband connectivity for emergency telemedicine applications in indoor environments. The proposed solution relies onthe exploitation of existing femtocellular network resources available in the site of the emergency. Extensive simulations are carried out to compare the performance of the proposed femtocellular approach to the conventional macrocellular mobile networking approach. The simulation results indicate at least
