Our solution for indoor mobile coverage

Which problem does it solve?

Indoors

As mobile usage continues to grow year after year, 80% of mobile calls are made and received indoors.

Glass

Buildings and homes must comply with increasingly stringent thermal insulation requirements. The materials used to meet these requirements are a major contributor to indoor signal attenuation.

Antenna system (DAS)

Distributed antenna systems (DAS) are one solution for improving mobile coverage indoors, but they also have drawbacks:

  • They require complex installation and expensive hardware
  • They entail maintenance and replacement costs
  • They often only work for a single mobile operator
  • They are not scalable in all situations

Our unique solution improves indoor coverage

We use a laser to treat the surface of the glass. The process doesn’t affect the window frames, doesn’t create a mess and doesn’t require the installation of any equipment

Coated double glazing

  • 72 Light transmission
  • 38 Solar factor
  • -30db Radio signal loss

Double glass with coating + WAVETHRU

  • 72 Light transmission
  • 38 Solar factor
  • -3db Radio signal loss

Can be customized for each project/building :

  • Pattern applied
  • % of windows to be treated in the building
  • % surface of each window to be treated

What is it?

A laser is used to great the surface of the glass. The process doesn’t affect the window frames, doesn’t create a mess and doesn’t require the installation of any equipment
The result is significantly better mobile coverage, without compromising window performance
Can be applied to all or part of each window and to some or all of the windows in the building , depending on how the building is positioned and the customer’s requirements
