All businesses need reliable mobile connectivity, and construction sites are no exception. As a requirement for health and safety, essential for successful operations and crucial for seamless communications, it can make or break the efficiency of a site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The demand for better connectivity is steadily rising. Now, construction managers want cost-effective, reliable and robust mobile signal to enable efficient exchange of information at all times, and in all indoor locations. That being said, construction sites are notorious for poor indoor signal. There\u2019s no doubt in fact, that every project team on every construction site will have experienced poor mobile coverage \u2013 and the frustrations that come with it \u2013 particularly when trying to use a phone in the steel walls of a cabin; underground; or even inside a temporary office or modular building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is before we factor in portable or modular buildings, which many sites favor for their faster build process. Generally erected before construction managers consider indoor mobile connectivity, modular buildings are renowned to block out signal entirely \u2013 not ideal for sites whose entire operational efficiency pivots around reliable mobile coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
