While WiFi is often consistent, it’s not immune to outages or disconnections in larger buildings, particularly in areas like basements, stairwells, or rooms with thick walls. In an emergency, these weak spots can compromise staff safety, and statistics support the need for backup solutions like mobile signal boosters.
It’s estimated that around 49% of UK office workers in London experience mobile signal problems, particularly in areas like basements and large office spaces. These challenges are primarily due to modern construction materials like steel and concrete, which block signals.
1 in 4 people in the UK have faced moments where they were unable to contact emergency services due to poor signal. This highlights the potential dangers when communication is compromised, especially in large workplaces, where a lack of signal can delay life-saving actions during emergencies.
An estimated 565,000 workers sustained non-fatal injuries according to self-reports from the Labour Force Survey, and 123 workers were killed in workplace accidents during the same period. While we don’t know how many of these incidents were impacted by poor mobile signal hindering access to emergency services, these significant numbers highlight the frequency of workplace emergencies.
There have been several cases in the UK where people struggled to contact emergency services due to poor mobile signal. For example, the London Underground Incident in 2016 where a freight train derailed at Ealing Broadway station. While this particular station is not entirely underground, parts of its infrastructure and nearby facilities experienced poor mobile signal due to the structural materials and subterranean areas. Dense construction materials like concrete and metal can obstruct mobile signals as well as underground passages, maintenance areas, or nearby tunnels may also have limited reception.
There are a number of consequences when it comes to having a lack of mobile signal like delayed reporting of the incident, passenger and staff safety, challenges in coordinating emergency response – the list goes on.
In situations like these, our tailored installations can help ensure that critical areas, such as basements or buildings constructed with signal-blocking materials, remain connected even during urgent situations.
Mobile signal boosters are crucial across various industries, especially in ensuring uninterrupted communication during crises.
