State of the Industry

Cellular technology has gone from its infancy in the 1970’s to the cornerstone of communications today in 2012.  User demand for bandwidth, content and services available via your mobile device are expanding at an alarming and exciting pace. The connectivity issue within your leased space will only get better or worse depending on how you address it today. Now is the time to have a discussion regarding the state of the in-building cellular market.

The ability to stay wirelessly connected represents an important requirement in today’s new business world. Ubiquitous anytime, anywhere access constitutes the lifeline of any organization. The impact of economic globalization has made corporations attentive to the benefits of optimizing and enhancing operational efficiencies in order to improve productivity and reduce costs in this competitive global market.

Today’s workforce needs to be reachable at all times in order to maintain excellent relationships with clients. When talking to a potential customer, you would not want to lose a voice connection when entering the office parking garage. This can tremendously impact the perceived level of customer service and support. Non-existent in-building cellular coverage, especially in business districts, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and high-rise buildings, means that many important calls will go unattended or unanswered. Modern business activities mandate ubiquitous connectivity making it a critical requirement of today’s corporate voice and data communications infrastructure.

With the multi-media aspects of applications making their way into the hands of business professionals, the bandwidth needs of all users is continuing to expand. As a result, if a potential tenant in a high-rise office building does not have the capability to deploy a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to provide cellular coverage within their leased space, they will begin to look elsewhere.
