THE CUSTOMER

The high-rise Waterton building, situated in the bustling heart of downtown Chicago, grappled with persistent issues related to poor cellular signal reception. This problem posed substantial challenges for both occupants and visitors, impacting productivity and communication. Recognizing the gravity of this situation, the building management embarked on a mission to rectify this issue and sought a solution to enhance cellular connectivity. This case study explores the installation of multiple SureCall 5X Max cellular signal amplifiers and their impact on signal strength within the building.


THE PROBLEM 

Despite its strategic location, occupants had consistently endured weak cellular signals inside the building leading to dropped calls, sluggish 5G data speeds, and widespread frustration among tenants, employees, and customers. The building management recognized the urgency of addressing this challenge and decided to upgrade the existing cellular booster system to enhance cellular signal strength to improve the overall experience for all users.


THE CHALLENGES

  1. Inadequate signal strength within the building, resulting in frequent call drops and slow data speeds. 
  2. The building houses diverse clientele, which required a solution that catered to a variety of cellular carriers and devices. 
  3. The building's structural characteristics required the use of existing cabling and infrastructure.

THE SOLUTION

The chosen solution entailed the deployment of multiple 5X Max cellular signal amplifier systems, a cutting-edge wireless solution featuring SureCall's proprietary Extended Range Technologyâ„¢ (ERT), designed to mitigate signal loss in the outdoor cable by amplifying 5G/4G cellular signals at their strongest point outside the building. This groundbreaking innovation provides maximum performance and connectivity, expanded indoor coverage, extended tower range, and fastest data speeds when compared to the closest competitors.
