Why Good Mobile Signal For EV Charging Points Is Key

Mobile Musings
May 16, 2023

The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to rise, and with it comes the need for convenient and accessible charging infrastructure. This means that mobile signal for EV charging points is a very hot topic at the moment!

A common location for installing EV charging points is in car parks, particularly basement car parks where space is abundant. However, a frequent challenge faced by these facilities is inadequate mobile signal, which can hinder the proper functioning of EV charging points.

In this blog post, we will explore why mobile signal for EV charging points is crucial, and how Amplifi-Qx, powered by CEL-FI, can solve this problem for good.

Why Mobile Signal for EV Charging Points Matters

Communication

EV charging points rely on mobile connectivity for effective communication with the charging network, which is necessary for monitoring the charging status, managing usage, and processing payments. Without access to strong mobile signal for the EV charging points in your car park, they’re unlikely to function as intended.

Remote Access

Users often need to access their charging accounts via mobile apps to initiate and stop charging sessions, track charging progress, and receive notifications about their charging status. Poor mobile signal in car parks where EV charging points are located can lead to real problems using such mobile apps.

Firmware Updates

Regular firmware updates are essential to ensure that the EV charging points remain up-to-date with the latest features and improvements. These updates are typically delivered via mobile networks. Another key reason why mobile signal for EV charging points is so important.

Emergency Services

In the event of an issue with the charging point or an emergency situation, a reliable mobile signal is necessary for users to call for assistance or report problems.

Amplifi-Qx: The Solution for Enhanced Mobile Signal in Car Parks

Amplifi-Qx, powered by CEL-FI signal boosters, is designed to improve mobile signal in areas where coverage is weak or nonexistent, such as basement car parks. Here’s how it works:

1) Signal Capture

An external antenna captures the existing mobile signal from outside the car park and passes it to the signal booster units via coax cable.

2) Signal Boost

The captured signal is then amplified by the CEL-FI signal booster to increase its strength and extend its reach.

3) Signal Distribution

The amplified signal is distributed throughout the car park using a network of internal antennas, ensuring that all areas receive strong and reliable mobile coverage.

4) Seamless Integration

Amplifi-Qx is compatible with all major mobile network operators and can support multiple networks simultaneously, providing comprehensive coverage for EV charging points and users.

Fix the mobile signal for your EV charging point

The growing popularity of electric vehicles has created the need for reliable and accessible charging infrastructure. By addressing the mobile signal challenges faced in car parks, particularly basement car parks, Amplifi-Qx ensures that EV charging points function optimally and efficiently.

Investing in a mobile signal enhancement solution like Amplifi-Qx, powered by CEL-FI signal boosters, not only benefits EV drivers but also contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
