    Enhance Cellular Service Inside Parking Garages

    • News
    • 21 Aug, 2023
    • Posted by: Bianca Thorburn

    Parking garages have a notorious reputation for providing dismal cell phone reception. The primary reason behind this frustrating issue lies in the construction materials used, particularly concrete and steel. These materials excel at weakening or obstructing cellular signals, resulting in limited or nonexistent coverage within parking garages. Furthermore, factors like the distance to cell towers and the presence of nearby structures also contribute to the struggle for cellular connectivity. The situation is even more complex in underground parking facilities.

    The Impact on Safety and Convenience: Inadequate cell reception not only poses a threat to public safety but also affects your business's performance. If you own or manage a parking garage, prioritizing the improvement of cellular coverage within your facility is crucial.

    Enhanced cellular coverage offers numerous advantages:

    1. Enhanced Safety: By addressing cell service issues with the help of cellular signal amplifiers, you can significantly enhance safety for parking garage users. Reliable two-way communication becomes possible, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall security. In situations where prompt communication with first responders is necessary, a dependable cellular connection is indispensable. This can make a crucial difference in saving lives and preventing criminal activities.

    2. Supporting Smart Technologies: Modern parking garages rely on various smart technologies such as security cameras, EV charging stations, and smart parking sensors. These technologies require uninterrupted connectivity for real-time data transmission. While broadband internet is commonly used, its reliability can be compromised due to network congestion or outages. By integrating cellular connectivity as a backup network, you can ensure smooth operations even during broadband failures. This safeguards customer satisfaction and prevents disruptions in services like EV charging and payment systems.

    3. Improving the Parking Experience: Parking apps and EV charging station apps have revolutionized the way users find and reserve parking spots. To fully benefit from these apps, users need a reliable cellular connection. By addressing cellular signal issues, you enable users to efficiently locate spots, reduce time wasted, and enhance the overall parking experience. This is especially valuable for mobile order pickups, where dependable cellular signals lead to increased efficiency and customer satisfaction.

    Cell Phone Signal Boosters for South African Parking Garages: Cell phone signal boosters, known as passive distributed antenna systems (DAS), offer a practical solution for improving cellular coverage across all carriers within parking garages. These systems consist of key components:

    1. Powerful Outside Antennas: These antennas capture existing cell signals from multiple carriers.

    2. Amplifiers: Amplifiers boost the received cellular signals, enhancing their strength.

    3. Indoor Antennas: Indoor antennas broadcast the amplified cellular signals throughout the facility.

    4. High-Grade Coaxial Cables: These cables relay cellular signals between components, overcoming signal-blocking materials.

    Considering the structure of parking garages, multiple amplifiers may be necessary to cover multiple levels. The presence of concrete and steel between levels makes it challenging for signals to span across levels using a single system. Opting for a single amplifier covering the entire garage may lead to weaker signal distribution and limited coverage.

    Conclusion: In South African parking garages, addressing the issue of poor cellular reception is essential. It impacts safety, convenience, and overall customer satisfaction. Cell phone signal boosters provide a cost-effective solution to enhance cellular coverage, support smart technologies, and improve the parking experience. To determine the best DAS solution for your parking garage, reach out to us at 011 749 3085 JHB or 021 8793057 CPT.

    We're here to assist you in transforming your parking facility into a well-connected and efficient space.
