In-building cellular service is as essential to business as any utility, but it’s increasingly the business owner’s problem
In-building cellular service is as important to business as basic utilities like heat and power. Fast, ubiquitous, predictable, and reliable mobile service is not a luxury, it’s a basic business necessity. Making that service work is increasingly the problem of the building owner or the business occupying the facility space. And this trend is accelerating, according to Stephen Kowal, Chief Commercial Officer at Nextivity Inc., Nextivity’ s award-winning Cel-Fi cellular solutions enable businesses to provide in-building coverage at a lower price point and with fewer installation woes as compared to traditional distributed antenna systems (DAS).
Over the course of the past five years, Kowal asserts, there’s been a shift: Communication Service Providers (CSPs) have spent billions to buy spectrum and create 5G macro networks. This has left little money for capital expansions inside buildings.
“That financial burden in most cases now lies with the building owner,” said Kowal. “If you think about gas, electricity, and water, that stops at the curb. The building owner is responsible for getting them in, and cellular is going to be like that going forward.”
At the same time, enterprise demand for cellular data communication is skyrocketing. More people and more businesses are using mobile data, and it’s gone from a “nice to have” to an absolutely baseline necessity. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a policy that’s been adopted by many enterprises
“Tenants expect cellular coverage, or maybe it’s more accurate to say they demand it,” said Kowal.
