Anyone who has ever worked or spent any time in a remote facility such as a mine, factory, warehouse will be familiar with the virtual non-existent cell phone reception that plagues these types of facilities. In short—you can have excellent cell reception OUTSIDE a building—but once INSIDE —building construction such as eg: steel roofs virtually ‘cuts off’ reception to cell phones. Many times your phone will even display ‘noservice’ message on the cell phone. (Usually only seen in very remote areas !)
Virtually 100% of all mines are located in remote areas where cell reception can be as hard to find as a gold nugget !
The solution ? An ‘industrial strength’ cell phone booster system from Wireless Solutions. Cell phone boosters have been around for some time—but they have mostly been limited to residential systems.
Wireless Solutions has a line of robust, affordable powerful ‘industrial strength’ cell phone booster systems that can ‘Raise Your Bars’ on cell phones from 1 ‘bar’ to FULL ‘bars’. The system consists of a ‘4 indoor antenna’ array configuration that is specifically designed for warehouses, factories, logistic / distribution centres, etc. Cell coverage of this industrial KIT is up to 80,000 sq ft. The system covers all major carriers—Bell, Rogers, Telus, Wind, & Mobilicity. The systems boost reception to both voice AND data on 3G/4G & LTE networks.
The system comes with 5 antennas—1 for outside (to ‘grab’ the existing cell signal) and 4 for inside. Additional components include a ‘splitter’ (to split the 4 antennas), cables, and 80dB power amplifier. Wireless-Solutions recommends a lightning protector module—in case of lightning strike(s); which is also included in the KIT. The 4 indoor antennas are typically set up in a 4 ‘quadrant’ array to achieve maximum coverage.
The industrial booster system comes in 80dB power level. (Power determines the square footage of coverage area) The booster system comes as a KIT, with EVERYTHING included. As most facilities have in-house electricians & maintenance staff; Wireless-Solutions also supplies drawings and all engineering support to assist in installation. Typical installation time: 2—3 days.
It’s no secret that people rely heavily on their iPhones, Blackberrys & so-called ‘smart-phones’. Busy professionals, and everyday people all use cell phones today to ‘stay connected’ with their business as well as friends & family ! It’s worth mentioning—very recently Blackberry AND Apple have come out with a new ‘phab-let’ (cross between a phone & tablet) that is specifically designed for industry ! But like all smartphones on the market—they’ll only work—if you have BARS !
