EV Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Need an Efficient Network.

Electromobility is gaining ground, and with it, the need for reliable connectivity. Whether downtown, in remote areas or elsewhere, we have expertise in designing and installing cellular coverage.

The deeper underground facilities are, the more difficult it is for cellular signals to reach people and places. Critical infrastructure is connected to the cellular network to improve driver experience, parking and vehicle connectivity. 

Rise of 5G, with its cell towers broadcasting over shorter distances, is contributing to increased cellular coverage gaps and increasing interference from walls and other obstacles. Our team knows what to do.

Electric vehicle charging stations need a signal to track data, set schedules, and charge users for electricity.

▸ The charger, the vehicle, and the grid all need to connect for the system to work properly.

▸Cellular connectivity has proven to be one of the most reliable and robust ways to connect electric vehicle charging stations thanks to the quality of the public network available over the air from mobile network operators.

 

Our cellular coverage designs and installations bring power of outside network where you need it.

We resolve your EV charging station connectivity issues quickly and without interrupting your business.

  • We provide a clear and strong signal within hours/days, not weeks/months, without any contract with an operator.
  • Our systems offer a better signal quality than traditional passive repeaters because they are unconditionally secure for the network and we amplify each operator's signal independently, for maximum coverage, all at the lowest cost per area.

 

There is a solution even for the most delicate “dead zones” such as elevators.

Elevators are one of the most difficult places to connect to the cellular network, but thanks to our designs, a certified team, and state-of-the-art equipment, we have solutions.

From delivery drivers to visitors, residents, and employees moving between office floors, dropped calls in elevators are annoying and hamper productivity.

Additionally, cell phone coverage in elevators makes it easier to contact someone in an emergency, especially when people are trapped.

Local regulations vary, as do elevator operation and installation. We are fully conversant with the ins and outs of these systems and work with your elevator manufacturer and local authorities to ensure you receive the best coverage and compliance with regulations.

Imagine being able to move around a building without interruption, even in elevators.
