Watch Video: Can you hear me now? Improving Cellular Signals in Buildings

January 8th, 2024

Does your cellphone call drop once you enter a building? During this video we will help you understand why and what you can do to fix it.

In recent times across North America, there has been an imperative to improve the signaling for cellular phones and for public safety radio communications in buildings.

Often in certain areas of large buildings, cell phones do not work or do public safety radios. What does that mean? In a worst-case scenario, it means people cannot use their phone to call for help. It means that police officers responding to calls in some schools, or firefighters in a stairwell of a commercial building, cannot communicate via their hand-held radios. 

There are signal boosting solutions available. Join us on the webinar to learn:

• Why the signals are weak in buildings, what you can do to boost signals, and how the systems are implemented.
• How the technology works, what is required at a high level and what it means to you.
• What are the building and fire codes for requirements for Public Safety Communications
• Why enforcement of these building codes has been changing for Public Safety Communications and how it impacts your building.
