What is mobile indoor coverage?
Mobile indoor coverage is the quality of your mobile network inside buildings. Building materials, architecture and location all affect how well your device performs indoors. For many people, home and office are central communication points, and stable coverage is crucial for both work and everyday life.
Technologies to improve indoor coverage
- Off air repeater, a bridge between the outdoor and indoor signal, good when the outdoor signal is strong.
- Fibre DAS, a distributed antenna system for larger buildings that gives even coverage.
- Frequency translating repeater, which converts frequencies to match different network needs.
How to get started
Start by assessing where and when coverage is weakest. Then it can be worth consulting an expert to find the right solution. One alternative to fixed equipment is a mobile solution that replaces older DECT systems.
Frequently asked questions about indoor coverage
Why is mobile coverage worse indoors?
Building materials such as concrete and metal weaken the signal, which makes coverage poorer indoors.
How can I improve indoor coverage?
With a repeater, DAS or a mobile solution tailored to the building's needs.
Does indoor coverage affect call quality?
Yes. A weak signal gives poorer sound, more dropouts and slower data.
Is a mobile solution better than DECT?
Often, because a mobile solution with good coverage gives more flexibility than fixed base stations.
