DAS-Cell Signal Boosting for Oil & Gas Client

An oil pump is sitting in the middle of a field under a starry sky.

Customer

  • Type of company: Oil & Gas
  • Number of employees: Not specified
  • Industry: Oil & Gas


  • "We had long struggled with poor indoor cellular coverage at my facility and had tried other solutions to no avail. We were immediately pleased with the vendor's expertise, including leveraging software to build a custom design that would boost multiple carriers. The installed solution was both right-sized and right-priced for our needs."


The Challenge

The client was experiencing poor indoor cellular signal across all major cellular carriers, leading to reduced employee productivity due to dropped calls and slow data speeds. Previous attempts to alleviate the issue with WiFi Calling and a self-installed DAS solution were inconsistent and not E911 compliant.

The poor signal directly impacted employee productivity and communication efficiency within the company.

The Solution

Using industry-leading wireless predictive design software, FLC Global Tech proposed a Distributed Antenna System to boost cellular coverage across multiple carriers' networks.

The solution included three roof-mounted 'donor' antennas to receive signals from each carrier's cellular tower and over ten 'server' antennas to redistribute the cellular signal indoors across two buildings. FLC Global Tech optimized the design by cabling the buildings together to limit expenditures and ensure a polished installation.

The Outcome

Post-installation, the client experienced full cellular signal strength at every location across both buildings, significantly improving from the prior condition.

The solution provided consistent and reliable cellular coverage indoors, improving communication and productivity. The vendor's NOC now remotely monitors and supports the system, ensuring its long-term efficacy.
