SHARED ACCESS LAUNCHES IN-BUILDING CONNECTIVITY SERVICE IN SPAIN

22nd November 2022 – Shared Access has launched its in-building mobile connectivity system in Spain. This service has proven an accessible and attractive model for commercial property owners in the UK and Ireland; Shared Access funds the necessary capital expenditure and charges an annual fee which includes maintenance.

Roberto Blesa, Business Development Manager and Elena Palomo, Real Estate Manager, are responsible for promoting the growth of this service in the Spanish market.

Sam Jackman, Chief Development Officer:

“The mobile network operators are facing similar challenges in all the markets in which they operate. The Spanish market is quite similar to the UK and Irish markets – it’s ripe for investment with a clear opportunity for growth, centred on the major cities. Fibre is also well deployed in Spain and this helps facilitate and increase the speed of mobile communications deployments on top of the infrastructure.

“Expanding our business into Spain is exciting for us and we see it as a natural next step of our European expansion.”

The advantages of in-building mobile connectivity in shopping centres

In our modern, technology-driven world, the importance of robust in-building mobile connectivity in shopping centres cannot be overstated.

PICTURE PERFECT CONNECTIVITY FOR A GLOBAL ICON

After a competitive tender process, we were appointed by the National Gallery (one of the greatest art galleries in the world) to design, deploy, operate and maintain a multi-operator mobile connectivity service within its new office hub at the heart of the famous Grade I listed building in London.

A FIRST FOR PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALL - CONNECTING 60,000+ FANS

Shared Access and Tottenham Hotspur embarked on an audacious mission in 2017 – to bring world class connectivity to Tottenham’s new stadium.

Building upon Shared Access’ previous experience deploying connectivity in large venues, the new system was designed, installed and fully funded by Shared Access. The stadium opened in April 2019 with all four UK mobile network operators live for the first game – a first in the UK.

STATE OF THE ART TOWER AT HEATHROW

In August 2022 we completed our largest build to-date. The 45m state of the art tower and secure compound at Heathrow provides coverage for the National Air Traffic Services business, all UK mobile operators (EE, O2, Three and Vodafone) and Transport for London. It also has the capacity to take future tenants, allowing for additional connectivity in the Heathrow and Feltham area.

Installation of Wi-Fi 6 at Berthon Marina, Lymington.

During the busy season, Berthon Marina has up to 250 boats in residence, all with multiple devices connecting to the marina’s Wi-Fi. This was creating a heavily congested network environment and a poor end user experience. Connection speeds were grinding to a halt, with berth holders and visitors frequently being disconnected or simply unable to connect. Card payments for fuel or food and beverage became impossible to process with all the associated customer frustrations and commercial impact.

Tunnels are historically tough locations to get a phone signal. Traditional masts provide coverage outdoors to locations that can be seen – tunnels by their nature are underground, compact and often have lots of twists and turns that all stop existing outdoor signals from penetrating inside.

The Tyne Tunnel is no different. Originally opened in 1967, the seven miles of tunnels connect the town of Jarrow with North Shields and Howden. The traffic that passes through the tunnel allows vehicles both a way in and out of Newcastle. Over 40,000 vehicles travel through the Tyne Tunnel every day – that’s over 14,000,000 vehicles a year.
