Why Reliable Mobile Connectivity is More Important Than Ever

Paul Rush • November 26, 2024

Transforming Mobile Connectivity for a Rural Home

Living in a rural area often comes with its own set of challenges, and for one couple, poor mobile coverage was at the top of the list. Situated three miles from the nearest Vodafone network tower, they faced limited coverage in one end of their home and nearly non-existent mobile service in the other. To make matters worse, Vodafone’s discontinuation of the Femtocell Sure Signal service in September 2020 left them with few options for improvement.

The Challenge

The couple relied solely on Vodafone for their mobile needs, requiring both voice and data connectivity due to an unreliable broadband service. Achieving strong, consistent coverage throughout their home posed a challenge, especially in a traditionally constructed property where cabling had to be carefully planned and discreetly installed.

The Solution

ZoneGen provided an Ofcom-compliant Cel-Fi solution tailored to Vodafone, integrating a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) throughout the property. This advanced system ensured robust mobile signal coverage while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the home.

Overcoming Obstacles

Cabling in a residential property can be complex, but with meticulous planning, we were able to install the necessary equipment without any visible disruption. This attention to detail ensured that the solution blended seamlessly into the home’s design—a hallmark of our approach.

The Results

The results were transformative:

Reliable Vodafone voice and data connectivity throughout the property.
Clear, high-quality calls without dropouts.
A dependable 4G data backup service, providing peace of mind for the homeowners.

The couple can now enjoy uninterrupted communication and reliable internet access, no matter where they are in their home—a solution they’re delighted with.

The Growing Need for Strong Mobile Connectivity

By Paul Rush • February 2, 2025

The Growing Need for Strong Mobile Connectivity The shift towards remote and hybrid working has made consistent mobile coverage more crucial than ever. Employees require uninterrupted access to communication tools and data platforms to remain productive, while industries like healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing rely on real-time connectivity to manage operations efficiently. In commercial buildings, poor mobile signals can result in dropped calls, slow data speeds, and unreliable communication, which can negatively impact business performance and customer experience. Some of the most common causes of poor signal strength in commercial spaces include: Modern building materials such as reinforced concrete, metal, and energy-efficient glass, which block signals. Large, multi-floor layouts that make it difficult for signals to penetrate all areas. Basements or underground offices where signals struggle to reach. Network congestion in busy environments, leading to weakened performance. If any of these issues sound familiar, ZoneGen has the solution.
