Warehouses and distribution centres can have usable mobile signal outside but poor reception indoors. Steel frames, metal cladding and reflective insulation can prevent that signal from reaching staff inside the building.
Reliable mobile coverage helps warehouse teams stay connected, coordinate deliveries and communicate across loading bays, storage areas and offices.
CEL-FI systems can receive available outdoor mobile signal and improve coverage throughout the areas of a building where it is needed, with the equipment and antenna arrangement designed around the site.
What Should an Industrial Mobile Signal Survey Assess?
Mobile coverage requirements can vary considerably between warehouse aisles, production areas, offices and loading bays.
A suitable assessment considers the outdoor or roof-level signal available for each required mobile network, the areas needing improved coverage, the building's construction and the practical positions for antennas and cabling.
This helps determine whether a smaller installation can meet the requirement or a larger, multi-zone system would be more appropriate.
For straightforward single-network projects in smaller buildings, an on-site survey may not always be necessary. Larger or more complex sites may benefit from a detailed survey before the final system design is agreed.

Hotel Chocolat: Mobile Coverage Across a 20,000 m² Distribution Centre
When Hotel Chocolat expanded its St Neots distribution centre to approximately 20,000 m², reliable mobile coverage became increasingly important for daily operations.
The warehouse's metal cladding was preventing mobile signal from reaching staff inside, despite usable signal being available outdoors.
Following a site assessment, a CEL-FI QUATRA 1000 system was installed to improve mobile coverage throughout the expanded facility.
The installation was completed in under two weeks, helping Hotel Chocolat provide more reliable mobile connectivity for its warehouse team.
