The Challenge
Like in many modern, sustainability-focused buildings, DAC Beachcroft struggled with mobile connectivity at their London-based headquarters within The Walbrook Building. This can be attributed to the materials used in construction, including Low-E glass, steel, concrete, and timber.
With a large workforce located in the office and this being a global headquarters for the company, this led to a number of operational challenges. This included communication with clients, other offices, and other stakeholders. With little to no mobile coverage, health and safety in the office was also a concern.
The Solution
Following a detailed survey and consultation period the Boost Pro team designed a hybrid DAS to improve the corporate mobile signal. Additional wayleave agreements were required due to cable routes within the building. To minimise disturbance to staff the installation took place across two weekends.
The solution is an Active DAS Hybrid that provides uniform, high-quality mobile signal throughout the building, and is scalable to the size needed. This delivers a mobile signal that is up to 1000x stronger, utilizing CAT 5e/6 cabling for RF and Power over Ethernet, with no signal attenuation, right to the perimeter of the building.
With no operator licence required, installation was completed in a matter of days – this smart cellular solution delivers the industry’s highest gain, at the lowest cost per square metre.
