Fewer things can be more fundamentally frustrating and business impacting than poor indoor connectivity.
Dropped or lost calls, slow download and upload speeds, trouble accessing messages, unhappy staff, disgruntled customers – the list of challenges operations face when struggling with troublesome connectivity can be extensive.
You are eager to fix the problem but are faced with the following worries:
- Will my business be stopped for a long time or experience a high degree of disruption while the solution is being installed?
- How do I fix the problem without my clients being impacted by noise and dust associated with a new system and intrusive cabling?
What are the available solutions and challenges?
A few key factors can impact indoor connectivity including today’s choice of façade or roof material used in energy efficient buildings that can prevent the signal from entering buildings. Glazing composed of a metal-based coating for thermal insulation can also play a role in blocking radiowaves.
Possible solutions for improving poor indoor connectivity include installing:
- A Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) solution. This measures the rate at which energy is absorbed per unit mass by a human body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field.
- Sensors that repeat or amplify connectivity. They continually monitor WLAN performance and identify issues with interference, coverage, congestion or configuration.
- Distributed antenna systems (DAS). A network of antennas is connected to a common source and distributed throughout a building to extend coverage.
But these can be complex to integrate, require expensive hardware as well as entail maintenance and replacement costs. They also often only work for a single mobile operator and are often not scalable in all situations.
Presenting WAVETHRU: the perfect retroffitable solution for you!
A simpler, easier, and faster solution to increase mobile signal strength is the game-changing WAVETHRU by AGC. The retrofittable state-of-the-art technology for mobile indoor coverage enables radio-friendly glazing that reduces radio signal loss by 25 dB.
The process applies a unique laser pattern to the glazing with 30 µm laser engraved lines that are nearly invisible to the naked eye. Treatment is so gentle, it does not affect the physical properties of the glazing, which remain the same.
And it will blow all your worries away! WAVETHRU is quick to install, maintenance free, versatile, silent, clean, invisible, CO2 emission free, and lasts as long as the glass does. Just 20% to 30% of the window and floors 0 to 4 need to be treated to improve the indoor signal on all frequency ranges under 6GHz. This makes it a future-proof solution for 5G and there is no need to adapt the solution if new technology is introduced or the operator infrastructure changes.
As well as being added to existing glazing, WAVETHRU can be applied before glazing is installed in the case of new buildings or renovations to ensure optimal mobile connectivity.
With WAVETHRU, poor indoor connectivity can easily become a thing of the past enabling you and your clients to focus fully on business success.
