Having reliable cell coverage is essential. Whether at school, on a college campus, in a hospital, lab or business, unreliable cell coverage is a safety issue and a productivity issue. When cell reception is spotty or non-existent, IT directors contact KTS to design and install a reliable solution, quickly.
Common causes of poor cell reception are green buildings with Low-E glass and older buildings constructed of brick or concrete. These materials interfere with or block cell signals.
Poor cell reception is typically perceived as an inconvenience, something that causes frustration and can slow productivity, but poor cell reception goes beyond annoyance and is a safety issue. Every part of every campus (e.g., school, university, hospital, office buildings) needs to receive a reliable cell signal. In an emergency, the ability to make a call is crucial. The ability to receive emergency alerts on a cell phone is also a key factor in safety.
The most common solution to poor cellular reception is a cellular bi-directional amplifier or cellular BDA. Installing a BDA – or in some cases more than one – can significantly improve cellular reception. Many of our customers have seen these benefits across their campuses. Read more here about how one Boston-area college campus realized the benefits of a BDA.
A BDA is a straightforward solution to many cellular reception problems. If you are struggling with poor cellular reception across your school or hospital campus, throughout your lab or in your offices, contact us.
