Nothing is more frustrating than a slow Internet connection or poor mobile signal when looking to get work done. That “missed call” notification letting you know that someone important has not been able to reach you once again? Bleurgh!
As more and more businesses offer remote working – and this relies on a mobile signal or an Internet connection to function – such issues become a lot more problematic, not just for productivity, but also for the profitability of the business.
The modern materials, big frames, and thick walls typically used to build the average office building often spell doom for mobile signals, as they can’t penetrate them and provide a solid signal for everyone inside. This is why dead zones are quite common in most commercial buildings.
Fortunately, nowadays, there are effective solutions in the market to eliminate weak mobile signals and prevent this from ever becoming a problem again. This means better productivity, fewer missed calls, and in the end, greater profits.
But what are these solutions that can ensure a reliable, consistent mobile connection in every part of the office building? Well, here is where mobile signal boosters for commercial buildings come in.
Mobile signal boosters are remarkable devices designed to amplify the signal in nearly any building, making sure that you always have a reliable and strong mobile connection to make you productive.
With a commercial-scale mobile booster, you could support as many phones as you would need, which cuts out the dead spots and missed calls, along with the frustrations that will inevitably build up as a result.
There are several different configurations that work for different building sizes and the number of users, some of which are powerful enough to reliably supply a strong signal to even the most unconventional structures.
How do mobile signal boosters work exactly?
The best thing about the mobile signal boosters such as those we offer is the fact that they usually work without any obvious antennae, or worse, hazardous cables that may get in the way. The following are the six simple steps we use when installing them:
Site Survey
Following an initial site survey, we work out exactly where the various bits of infrastructure and equipment will be installed to ensure the mobile booster works as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Door antenna
The next step is installing a donor antenna on top of the building, which is meant to help receive and transmit signals from the nearest cell tower.
Antenna cable run
Our team will then run coaxial cables between the donor antenna and the repeater or the network unit that goes inside the building. These are the cables that will carry the signal.
Network unit
We will then install a network unit to essentially amplify and condition the off-air signals in multiple frequency bands as a source of the signal.
The coverage unit’s cable runs
Optimized CAT 6 cables will be used to connect the network unit to the coverage units, which will be installed throughout the building as needed.
Coverage units
We will also install remote units subtly throughout the different sections of the building that require a better signal. This could be on different floors, basements, underground car parks, etc. These units are meant for converting and amplifying the mobile signal.
You might be wondering what to consider before choosing a mobile signal booster…
Well, when choosing what kind of booster you need for the needs of your building, you should figure out the square meter size of the area you want to be covered. Remember that you might not need to cover every nook and cranny, and our team can help you work this out.
