Poor cellular coverage inside buildings is a growing problem. Manley Solutions diagnoses the cause and designs the right solution — from signal enhancement for smaller spaces to distributed antenna systems for large or complex structures.
Modern buildings are designed to be energy-efficient and structurally robust — but the same materials that make them efficient also block cellular signals.
Reinforced concrete and structural steel absorb and reflect cellular signals, blocking them from entering the building interior.
Modern energy-efficient windows with low-emissivity coatings reflect cellular frequencies, preventing signal penetration.
Basements, underground parking, and subterranean levels have no line-of-sight to cell towers and receive little or no signal.
In large buildings, signal strength drops with distance from exterior walls, leaving interior areas with no coverage.
Nearby buildings, terrain, and interference from other RF sources can degrade the available donor signal.
If the building is far from the nearest cell tower, or the tower is at capacity, indoor coverage suffers.
The right solution depends on building size, construction, available outdoor signal, and coverage goals. A signal booster and a DAS are not the same solution.
Bi-directional amplifiers (BDAs) boost existing outdoor signal and redistribute it indoors for smaller buildings with adequate donor signal.
A network of antennas distributed throughout a building provides uniform coverage in large or complex structures. Active and passive architectures are available.
Solutions can be designed for a single carrier or configured for multi-carrier support depending on requirements.
A professional RF survey measures signal strength throughout the building and informs the design of the coverage solution.
Proper installation, antenna placement, and commissioning ensure the system performs as designed.
Measure signal strength from each carrier throughout the building.
Design the right solution — booster, DAS, or hybrid — based on the assessment.
Professional installation of donor antennas, amplifiers, and indoor coverage antennas.
Test and verify coverage throughout the building. Provide ongoing managed support.
