Our customer needed to improve mobile signal reception in a medium-sized office in Bois-Colombes, France. This area in the suburbs of Paris is well-known for old historic architecture. The customer’s office is located in one of such buildings with thick concrete walls that prevented the signal from penetrating inside. In addition to construction design peculiarities the building stands in a rather built up zone and neighboring buildings also blocked the signal causing almost zero reception.
The customer complained about low quality calls and slow 4G mobile data rates. The main problem was Orange and SFR service. Even close to the windows, mobile phones on both operators hardly showed one bar.
HiBoost Solution
We’ve offered a smart dual band solution HiBoost Hi17-ED. The models’s coverage is 1000 sq.m., power is 17 dBm, so one system was just enough to cover the office of 450 sq.m. Since the customer’s floor plan is rather simple, no accessories were required and a standard kit with one indoor and one outdoor panel antennas perfectly fitted the site.
Hiboost Hi17-ED is a dual band repeater, i.e. it supports two frequency bands at a time – EGSM 900 and 4G LTE 1800 MHz. All mobile network operators in France support these two frequencies. To put it simple, the device improves calls and 4 G LTE data transfer, which completely meets the customer’s requirements.
