At Signal Solutions, we provide customised mobile signal boosting systems across the UK and Europe. In this blog, we’ll show how we help customers go from poor connectivity to strong, consistent signals, explaining our process, and how we keep your business connected.
Step One: Identifying the Problem
Identifying mobile signal issues is a critical step towards boosting mobile signal and improving connectivity in any commercial space. Whether the problems stem from thick walls, multiple floors, or remote locations, our expertise ensures a comprehensive solution. We handle everything from diagnosing the issue to providing a seamless installation process, guaranteeing reliable signal coverage in every corner of your building.
Wi-Fi calling can help bridge the gap when mobile signals are weak, but it relies entirely on a stable internet connection. Without a reliable backup like a signal booster, any issues with Wi-Fi can leave you disconnected and vulnerable to communication breakdowns.
Example: Ham Yard Hotel, London
Ham Yard Hotel had weak mobile reception in key areas, affecting both guest experience and staff operations. Our bespoke signal-boosting solution resolved these issues, providing strong mobile coverage throughout the hotel for guests and staff alike.
Step 2: Finding A Solution With Signal Solutions
At Signal Solutions, we specialise in providing CEL-FI signal boosting solutions for businesses facing poor mobile connectivity. Our team offers customised installations that cater to the specific needs of your space, ensuring improved signal strength and consistent communication. With our expert solutions in boosting mobile signal, businesses can overcome the challenges of weak reception and enhance productivity through seamless, uninterrupted connectivity.
A signal booster installation consists of several key components, each playing a crucial role in improving mobile connectivity:
- External Antenna: Mounted outside the building, it captures the mobile signal from nearby cell towers.
- Network Unit: This device receives the signal from the external antenna and amplifies it for stronger performance.
- Coverage Units: Positioned inside the building, it works to distribute the boosted signal throughout the space.
- Internal Antennas: These units ensure the amplified signal reaches all areas within the building, providing seamless coverage.
Each component works together to ensure your business stays connected with a stronger, stable mobile signal.
Step 3: The Consultation and Survey Process
When a customer first contacts Signal Solutions, we begin with a free solution design and quote. This involves a thorough consultation to understand the specific signal challenges you’re facing. Our team gathers essential information about your building’s layout (floor plans) and current mobile connectivity to create a tailored plan. This free service provides you with a clear understanding of the options available, ensuring the proposed solution addresses your unique needs, whether it’s an office, retail space, or industrial site.
Following this, we conduct an in-depth site survey to assess your space in detail—this is crucial for identifying weak signal areas and determining the best placement for boosting your mobile signal. By evaluating the building’s structure, materials, and layout, we ensure that the signal booster system is positioned for maximum effectiveness, providing seamless coverage throughout your space.
Step 4: The Installation
We complete mobile signal booster installations with minimal disruption and within a clear timeframe. For example, at AQA’s offices in Manchester, our engineers installed external antennas, network units, coverage units and a series of internal antennas to tackle issues caused by thick walls and multiple levels. The process was carefully planned to ensure maximum coverage throughout the building.
The installation process typically begins with mounting the external antenna to capture the signal from nearby cell towers. Next, the network unit is installed to amplify the signal, which is then sent to multiple coverage units placed strategically around the building. A series of internal antennas are connected to these coverage units to distribute the amplified signal evenly throughout the space.
While installation times vary based on building size and complexity, most projects are completed within 4-6 weeks, allowing businesses to enjoy improved connectivity quickly and efficiently without interrupting their daily operations.
Step 5: Post Installation Testing and Support
After the installation is complete, our work doesn’t stop there. On completion of any installation we’ll always walk around the building to test the signal in various locations – comparing the boosted signal to the original signal readings taken as part of the site survey.
We use professional signal testing equipment to take dBm readings (decibel milliwatts) – we then compare these to the pre-install readings to calculate the increase in mobile signal. A really good dBm reading will be somewhere between -70dBm and -90dBm … the closer to zero the better!
We offer ongoing support and monitoring, ensuring that boosting mobile signal continues to meet your connectivity needs over time. Whether it’s routine check-ins or maintenance visits, we’re here to make sure you stay connected, no matter what.
Step 6: Customer Satisfaction - The Results
After the installation at 35 Grosvenor Street, the improvements were clear, even during construction. Despite the site still being developed, we ensured reliable signal coverage across all major UK networks (Vodafone, O2, EE and Three). Post-installation testing confirmed strong signals throughout the 2,000 sq ft office space, ready for seamless connectivity once operational.
- Fully boosted mobile signal throughout the site, ensuring no weak spots for future staff and visitors.
- Significantly improved signal strength verified through comprehensive signal readings pre and post-installation.
- A future-proof system ready for seamless mobile connectivity as soon as the building is operational.
The Arterial Group specialises in high-end office developments and manages multiple co-working spaces across London, offering flexible and modern work environments. Grant Powell, Co-Founder and CEO at the Arterial Group, highlighted how crucial reliable mobile connectivity is for their projects, including 35 Grosvenor Street, where our installation ensured seamless communication. He noted that the process was effortless and that working with our team of true experts made a significant difference.
With results like these, it’s clear how our installations can transform your mobile connectivity by boosting mobile signal. Whether it’s a new build or an established site, reliable signal coverage can enhance productivity and communication from day one. Isn’t it time you ensured your business stays connected, too?
