Indoor Cellular Coverage: For Aerospace

Patrick, an IT manager for an aerospace company, needed to improve cellular coverage inside reinforced concrete and steel bunkers used to monitor rocket launches. A traditional DAS solution was deemed too expensive, and no other solutions could penetrate the thick building materials. Cel-Fi GO X was installed and provided 4G signal strength inside the bunkers within four hours, surprising employees who had never received service there before. Based on this successful trial, Patrick planned to deploy Cel-Fi GO X at other secure company sites with indoor coverage needs.

Indoor Cellular Coverage for Aerospace

Patrick, IT Manager for Aerospace Company


Patrick is the IT Manager for one of the world’s leading aerospace companies. He oversees IT operations and computer systems
at the company’s Florida-based facility, advising business users on the solutions that will best meet their specific requirements.

BUSINESS NEED
BUNKERS FORTIFIED WITH CONCRETE AND STEEL BLOCK CELLULAR COMMUNICATION FOR PEOPLE INSIDE
Patrick’s company maintains several concrete military bunkers at its Florida facility, which are used to monitor rocket testing and launches.
These bunkers are located in close proximity to launch pads. Because of the environment, the bunkers are fortified with eight-foot thick
concrete walls, six-inch plated steel doors, concrete floors, and 15-inch thick window panes. While this material protects the people working
inside the bunkers in the event of an explosion, it doesn’t bode well for cellular communication. One particular bunker received little to no
signal outside, and no signal whatsoever anywhere inside the two-floor, 12,500 sq. ft. space. When Patrick called the company’s mobile
network operator, he was told that the space was too small to justify the expense of a traditional DAS solution. The operator’s in-building
solutions team also claimed to not have a solution that would solve this type of issue.

SOLUTION
CEL-FI GO X PENETRATES BUILDING MATERIALS TO ACHIEVE 4G SIGNAL STRENGTH
As Patrick tries to determine his next option, he receives a call back from the operator. One of the sales
representatives recalls a Nextivity webinar on the Cel-Fi GO X Smart Signal Booster, a multi-carrier, indoor
coverage solution ideal for use in commercial properties. Patrick is skeptical, but is open to a trial. The
Nextivity team, comprised of a sales director and a solutions architect, flies to the site to install Cel-Fi GO X.
Patrick initially schedules three days for the deployment, which includes touring the site, mounting the donor
BEFORE
and server antennas, and installing Cel-Fi GO X. But within four hours, the installation is complete. When
Patrick powers on the solution, the phones inside the bunker light up with text messages and alerts, much
to everyone’s surprise and delight. “Wow, I never get messages or service in here,” comments one employee.
“That’s more bars than I have ever seen in here. And it says 4G!” says another. Following a successful trial,
Patrick recommends Cel-Fi GO X for all company sites requiring coverage, and schedules site reviews at
several other secure locations.

AFTER

BEYOND • Deployed within hours


BETTER • Penetrated steel, concrete, and glass panes
COVERAGE • Achieved strong indoor 4G signal
