WiredScore Sets a New Standard for Industrial Connectivity
WiredScore, the global digital connectivity certification, has recently launched its new programme for industrial buildings! This marks a major step forward for warehouses, logistics centres and manufacturing sites. This blog post explores what WiredScore’s move means for the industrial sector and why connectivity is now a top priority.
As specialists in mobile signal solutions, Signal Solutions is perfectly placed to help industrial sites meet these new standards. Read on to discover how improved connectivity can future-proof your operations and how we can support your journey.
What is WiredScore?
WiredScore is the global authority on connectivity in real estate. Established in 2013, WiredScore provides internationally recognised certification for buildings, assessing and verifying the quality and resilience of their digital infrastructure.
Historically, WiredScore has set the benchmark for office buildings, helping landlords and tenants understand and improve their connectivity. However now, with the industrial sector’s growing reliance on technology, WiredScore’s move is both timely and essential. As the WiredScore article highlights, the industrial sector is the backbone of the UK economy and the pace of its digital transformation is rapidly increasing.
What Does WiredScore Certification Involve?
WiredScore’s industrial certification involves a comprehensive assessment of a building’s digital infrastructure, including:
Mobile signal strength and coverage throughout the site
Resilience and redundancy of connectivity systems
Readiness for future technologies such as 5G and IoT
Ability to support tenants’ operational needs now and in the future
The certification process is transparent and independent, giving both landlords and tenants confidence in the results. The aim of this is to empower landlords and tenants to make informed decisions and drive for improvements.
The Growing Importance of Connectivity in Industrial Spaces
Industrial spaces are no longer just about bricks and machinery. They are hubs of digital activity, powered by automation, robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, many industrial buildings face unique challenges when it comes to staying connected. The sheer scale and complexity of warehouses, logistics centres and manufacturing sites can make it difficult to achieve consistent, reliable mobile signal and data coverage throughout the entire facility.
This lack of robust connectivity can hold back innovation, limit the adoption of new technologies , impact day-to-day operations and put safety at risk. WiredScore’s new certification aims to address these challenges by providing a clear, measurable standard for digital infrastructure in industrial environments.
How Signal Solutions Supports Industrial Connectivity
As a WiredScore Accredited Professional specialising in mobile connectivity, Signal Solutions are uniquely positioned to provide you with the tools and services required to achieve WiredScore certification.
Using Nextivity CEL-FI technology, we deliver reliable mobile signal coverage in even the most challenging industrial environments, whether it’s a warehouse or a complex manufacturing site.
Our team has worked with clients across the UK and Europe to eliminate 'dead zones', improve operational efficiency and support the adoption of new digital tools.
For example, we recently helped Poundland’s 6,000 square metre distribution centre, which previously had little to no signal, leaving management unable to make calls. By installing a tailored CEL-FI system, we achieved full 4G and 5G coverage. Staff now enjoy reliable connectivity, greatly improving communication and operational efficiency.
