Case Study - Aspley Shopping Centre

The shopping centre was having issues with mobile signal dropping out due to its thick concrete construction, preventing EFTPOS machines from working reliably. To solve this, four Cel-Fi repeaters and a high gain antenna were installed to capture the nearby mobile signal and amplify it throughout the centre. Additional internal antennas further dispersed the signal. This solution increased the mobile signal to a consistent four bars centre-wide, allowing all tenant EFTPOS machines to operate continuously without issues.
