Continuous Connectivity Is Making Life Better

We’ve all been there, right? We’ve called our families or continued a business call on the way out of the office; however, as soon as we step into the elevator the “can you hear me now” question follows. We check the number of bars, asking the other party to “hold on a minute” and we end up with the inevitable dropped call. It’s the same story in many locations throughout a building, be it the stairwells or the parking garage. In some buildings, due to height, location or building construction, the entire building can be a “dead zone.” We live in a mobile society and there is nothing more frustrating than having to repeat oneself or stop communicating as we move from one space to another or from one device to another.

The solution is simple, available and used regularly – bring the network inside with an in-building wireless system. With the proliferation of mobile devices and the recent acceleration of data usage taxing the current 3G and nascent 4G cellular networks, the likelihood that the indoor coverage provided by outdoor-based cellular networks will survive for another five years is unlikely. A recent report from analysts at IDC predicts that the smartphone market will grow by nearly 50 percent this year alone. For building engineers and architects who are just starting to think about construction, we recommend looking further into the case for pre-wiring a building for indoor wireless coverage. (And, of course, we recommend the Wired for Wireless™ Solution from CommScope!)

With the Wired for Wireless Solution, building owners, campus administrators and IT personnel can ensure blanketed wireless coverage for fun, work and safety – making life better, easier and less frustrating. Consumers and enterprise users can seamlessly transition throughout their day free of the worry of interrupted mobile service. Designed for installation during construction along with all the other main utilities in a building, the robust system enables organizations to be prepared for tomorrow from day one. With better wireless and public safety coverage, the Wired for Wireless Solution lowers the lifetime costs of maintaining a building while providing multi-carrier support for neutral infrastructure.

This means owners don’t have to worry about changes to the outdoor network – even if “Bieber 6G Fever” hits.
