In-building Cellular Signal Boosters

The expansion of 5G coverage, whilst increasing bandwidth and offering many more applications for people to use and rely on, has increased the issues with obtaining good or at least workable mobile/cellular coverage when connecting within buildings. 5G works at a higher frequency than 4G so the cellular signal penetrates buildings less effectively. This, coupled with the use of building materials that deflect or reflect mobile signal from penetrating a building, means the need for in-building cellular signal boosters becomes even more important.

To overcome indoor cellular connectivity challenges, the Stella range of mobile coverage solutions takes the outside signal and repeats it at high strength levels inside a building. This solution is Ofcom compliant and the only unconditionally network safe solution on the market – as accepted by all the MNOs (mobile network operators).

Stella Doradus

Stella Doradus is a leading provider of in-building mobile signal enhancement solutions. Their products, including mobile signal repeaters, remote monitoring systems, and planning tools, are designed to improve 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G coverage indoors across offices, hospitals, retail spaces, and large commercial buildings.

Stella Doradus solutions are easy to install, fully compliant with UK regulations, and support all major network operators. By boosting weak mobile signals, they ensure reliable voice calls, faster data, and seamless connectivity for staff, customers, and visitors.

Whether you’re planning a new installation or optimising an existing network, Stella Doradus makes it simple to deliver consistent, high-quality mobile connectivity indoors.

Works with PortSense

Stella Doradus engineers have developed a new patented feature called PortSense (Patent Pending). All Stella repeaters are now equipped with the PortSense technology.

This integrated technology automatically detects when an antenna is connected to the indoor or outdoor antenna port. A white LED is integrated into the new Smart antennas. Additionally, the repeater’s ports have a white LED. When the cables and antennae are connected correctly, these two white LEDs illuminate, giving the installer peace of mind. If the LEDs do not illuminate, there is likely a problem with the cables and/or connectors and which, therefore, should be examined.

The status of the PortSense is also monitored from StellaControl and an alert can be triggered if any damage to the system is detected.

Applications

Cellular signal obstructions prevent the full strength of a mobile signal from penetrating inside buildings. The illustration shows a cell tower’s proximity to a building and objects obstructing cellular signals between the two.

Stella Doradus has a full range of solutions to solve the issues of mobile signal coverage in buildings, from small scale aimed at domestic homes and home-based offices through to the largest manufacturing plants and corporate offices. Here follow some examples:-

Enterprise Connectivity

Commercial, industrial, and public buildings require indoor mobile coverage every bit as much as other utilities but most modern buildings suffer from gaps in cellular coverage.

The answer is Stella’s in-building mobile solutions that bring the power of 3G, 4G, and 5G networks indoors. The result is a strong, reliable and consistent cellular signal throughout a facility, no matter the size and complexity. Stella’s in-building signals are enhanced with proprietary and network safe, active DAS hybrid solutions.

Modern buildings, offices and commercial properties need constant and reliable connectivity with cellular coverage extending wall-to-wall and basement to rooftop. There is nothing worse than being able to receive a call in one part of a building and then losing the connection if you move to another location within the building.

Stella’s DAS hybrid solutions offer intelligent coverage enhancement solutions, guaranteed to work without affecting the outside macro mobile network. It’s important for MNOs to accept that users of Stella will not impact their operations. In fact, both MNOs and Ofcom permit Nextivity to enhance in-building mobile signals more than providers offering standard repeaters.

Car Parks & Walkways

Stella Doradus can provide cellular coverage enhancement solutions for parking areas and walkways, including underground car parks, dead zones such as lifts and stairwells, plus EV charging stations, kiosks and POS, and pedestrian areas.

Lifts are one of the most difficult locations to provide cellular connectivity, but Stella’s best-of-breed equipment has you covered.

Stella can resolve EV station connectivity problems quickly with their boosters, which deliver strong mobile signals without an operator agreement. These systems offer better quality signals than standard repeaters as they are unconditionally network safe. Each operator’s signal is boosted independently for maximum coverage at the lowest cost per area.
