Strengthening your organisation’s indoor cellular coverage
Supporting your organisation with reliable indoor cellular coverage, crucial for consistent communications
Seamless communications and reliable connectivity are recognised by both organisations and individuals as playing a crucial part in business operations, with increasing numbers of employees being heavily reliant on their mobile phones to communicate, collaborate and access data in order to efficiently conduct their role, meaning that when in the workplace reliable indoor cellular coverage is a necessity.
Unfortunately, your organisation may be one of many in the UK that doesn’t benefit from reliable coverage.
As such, you maybe seeking opportunities to improve coverage, to not only improve efficiency and productivity, but to effectively conduct business with the ever-increasing reliance on mobile phones, but where to start…
We’ll start be briefly deciphering the myriad of factors contributing towards why your organisation is being impeded by poor cellular coverage, including (but not limited to):
- Building Materials: The materials used may inhibit indoor cellular signals and frequency bands specifically used by the network may have limited and varying penetration capabilities through both materials and the overall workplace structure.
- Insulation Materials: Insulation can act as a barrier, limiting signal availability.
- Window Structure: Both the design of and the materials of the windows can play a significant role in poor indoor cellular coverage.
- Internal layout & Interference: Dead zones are often seen in buildings due to layout, similarly, electronic infrastrucure within the workplace could cause interference, in turn disrupting cellular signal.
- Environmental Factors: As with internal influence, varying degrees of external factors can impact your indoor cellular coverage, through interference.
- Population Density: In higher population densities the network resource can often be strained, resulting in poor indoor cellular coverage.
It is also the incorrect belief of many that the Mobile Network Operators (MNO’s) are responsible for providing consistent coverage within buildings. It is in fact however, only their obligation to provide external coverage to 98% of the UK, inside buildings is the owner/ tenant’s responsibility.
Therefore, if your organisation is experiencing inconsistent, or poor indoor cellular coverage it’s important that you are addressing the issues and the indoor cellular coverage challenges you are facing.

Supporting your people and operations
With reliable, indoor cellular coverage
Investing in reliable and consistent indoor cellular coverage is an investment in both the efficiency of your operations and your employee and visitor satisfaction, through creating a connected workplace that fosters productivity and seamless operations.
Reliable indoor cellular coverage is a principle factor towards supporting both your people (staff, visitors and customers) and key operations, as it ensures consistent connectivity, facilitating stable communications, accessibility and collaboration. Successively reducing communication barriers and frustrations associated with the inability to make and receive calls.
Today’s world is run via technology and the ability to communicate both reliably and immediately is seen as ‘the norm,’ therefore employees suffering from poor cellular coverage within the workplace will feel frustrated, with decreased productivity levels due to dropped calls, slow data-speeds and unreliable connectivity, obstructing effective communication, collaboration and teamwork.
Succinctly, we all understand that reliable indoor cellular coverage is a vital commodity for organisations.
It not only provides a foundation for organisations to carry out their essential day to day operations and customer interactions in an increasingly connected world, but it helps to ensure continuity, productivity and efficiency, all supporting your key business objectives.

FAQ's
Can our organisation improve our current poor indoor cellular coverage without major building works?
Of course, the ideal situation would be that indoor cellular coverage would be a key-consideration when constructing buildings, however this isn’t the situation many organisation’s find themselves in, nevertheless, what they do want to understand is how their current situation can be improved, with minimal disruption and that’s where we can support you.
Indoor Cellular Coverage can be improved via several options including signal boosters/ repeaters which amplify and retransmit signals within your workplace building, or implementing Distributed Antenna Systems which involves strategically placing antennas throughout your building, in turn distributing and enhancing cellular signals.
How do mobile phone boosters work?
Boosters consist of three main components:
- Outside antenna
- Amplifier
- Inside antenna
They work as a result of enhancing and amplifying the existing cellular signal available within your building.
This begins with the outside antenna, which holds the responsibility for capturing weak signal, before directing this poor signal to the amplifier.
The amplifier boosts the signal strength, before transmitting it to the inside antenna.
The inside antenna redistributes the amplified signal within your building (or designated area) with your organisation benefitting from improved cellular coverage.
Improving indoor cellular coverage
With Distributed Antenna Systems and In-Building Cellular Repeaters
What are Indoor Distributed Antenna Systems and In-Building Cellular Repeaters?
We’ll begin with an introduction to Indoor Distributed Antenna Systems, also referred to as (DAS.)
They are networks of antennas that are designed to enhance indoor cellular signals within the workplace.
DAS consist of strategically placed antennas throughout the workplace, (locations determined by a pre-completed site-survey and discussed with the client prior to install.)
The results achieved from effective distributed signals include helping to eliminate dead zones, effectively providing seamless connectivity, enhancing the overall mobile experience within the workplace.
Secondly, In-Building Cellular Repeaters, sometimes known as signal boosters are devices designed to improve indoor cellular strength. They work by capturing existing weak signal, before amplifying and re-broadcasting the improved signal within the designated area, subsequently enabling the organisation to benefit from reliable, consistent coverage.
Why would these solutions be installed?
- To improve weak indoor signal: Many organisations operate from workplaces with thick walls and energy efficient-windows, which unfortunately increase the probability of dropped calls, slow speeds and frustration from staff, visitors and customers.
- To enhance coverage: Extend coverage to areas within your building that may be referred to as dead zones, to enable reliable coverage throughout your whole premises.
- To improve call quality: A reliable indoor signal improves call quality exponentially, with calls less likely to be missed, or dropped- furthermore benefitting from enhanced voice clarity.
- To benefit from faster data speeds: Data speeds can be boosted, making it possible for users to stream video, download files and use data-intensive applications, without the frustration that comes with poor signal, including delays and inconvenient buffering.
- Emergency communications: Although nobody wishes to find themselves in an emergency situation, the possibility mustn’t be overlooked, with these solutions helping to ensure communication with emergency services and third-parties can be both connected and maintained.
- Improved user experience: Nowadays, we all appreciate fast communication, there is nothing worse for staff, visitors and customers than poor coverage.
