Cellular Coverage
Nowadays, people expect perfect cell reception, wherever they go, all the time. Whether you’re running a business, managing a facility, or serving the public, uninterrupted mobile signal access is critical. At FCi, we specialize in enhancing in-building cellular coverage throughout Ottawa and the National Capital Region, keeping your people connected, wherever they are.
Cellular coverage refers to the ability of a mobile device to connect reliably to a cellular network, ensuring strong signal strength for voice calls, text messaging and mobile data. While outdoor coverage is generally provided by cell towers, many buildings, especially modern, energy-efficient ones, struggle to deliver consistent signal indoors due to barriers like thick concrete, metal sheathing, and underground structures.

Reliable cellular coverage is no longer a luxury, it’s an expectation. Poor reception can disrupt communication, impact productivity and frustrate employees and visitors. FCi provides in-building cellular signal extension solutions to ensure consistent, strong mobile connectivity in offices, warehouses and large facilities.

Common Causes of Poor Indoor Cellular Coverage:
Several modern trends and building practices can block or weaken cellular signals indoors:
- Energy-efficient building envelopes block signals while keeping heat and UV out.
- Increased reliance on wireless devices adds pressure on existing carrier networks.
- Concrete, steel, and underground construction isolate users from exterior signals.
- Cord-cutting eliminates landlines, increasing the need for robust wireless solutions.
