Design Services to Solve Poor Cellular Reception in the Office
Bad cell reception? No cell signal in the office?
To design the best cellular reception solution for your business, KTS does the following:
- Assess the situation and signal strength with “before readings”.
- Discuss current needs, budget and future plans which may affect the best cellular solution.
- Design a solution to best meet your needs and your budget. We’ll provide budgetary quotes to secure funding for the next budget cycle if necessary.
Planning will save you in the long run.
We all know the adage: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. An important consideration in designing the right solution to solve your poor cell reception in the office is to discuss your growth plans:
- What are the plans for the current location where cell phone reception is poor?
- Are you expanding with additional buildings or expanding floors?
- Are there other areas in a campus environment that should also be considered for a more comprehensive solution?
KTS will work with you as part of the design process so the recommended solution for poor cellular reception supports business growth and physical expansion.
3 Technology Options for Solving Poor Cellular Reception:
- A Cellular BDA (bi-directional amplifier) which boosts or amplifies the cell signal. We have designed and installed many cellular BDA systems to solve poor cell reception in the office, across campuses, in hospitals and in many work settings. Read more about cellular BDAs.
- A Distributed Antenna System (DAS). The standard DAS is carrier specific and is hard wired. While others consider this alternative, we have designed solutions to save our clients considerable money over a DAS with reliable cell coverage achieved. Read this case study.
- A hybrid DAS (distributed antenna system) This technology offers great advantages over the typical DAS as it is designed to scale, supports all carriers and public safety protocols and is not dependent on the available carrier signal to boost the signal. For larger square footage areas, this technology offers cellular reception solutions for our clients using single mode fiber.
Is energy efficient glass affecting your signal?
A building design that enhances the indoor environment while protecting the natural environment is what the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, rewards. The LEED system promotes sustainable buildings, awarding points for reducing energy use, improving indoor environmental quality and promoting a whole-building approach to sustainability. A major component of this certification is new, energy efficient (low-e) architectural glass. The components of the glass that make it energy efficient also make it RF and cellular inefficient by blocking the majority of signals from entering the building.
KTS solves the poor cellular reception issue caused by low-e glass. Read how designing a cellular BDA system solved the problem, grabbing the signal from outside and distributing it throughout the facility.
