Shared Access, owner and operator of shared telecommunications infrastructure, received a prestigious award for innovation in the office environment at the CESINE Workplace 2024 Conference held in Madrid last week.

The award recognises Shared Access’ exceptional performance in the field of mobile connectivity, as well as its ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation, particularly with the base station hotel concept that was developed for The National Gallery in London.

Sam Jackman, Chief Development Officer, Shared Access:

“It’s a great honour to receive this award from CESINE for our commitment to innovation and office connectivity. We will continue to innovate and collaborate with key industry players to offer the best in-building mobile connectivity.”

The award was presented by the President of CESINE, Jose María Álvarez, at Workplace 2024, an annual event of analysis and reflection on the office industry, which was held in Madrid last Thursday.

José María Álvarez, President CESINE:

“With this award we recognize Shared Access for its outstanding contribution to innovation in the office environment. Their project at the National Gallery in London achieved efficient and comprehensive connectivity in the office building, which has contributed to achieving maximum occupancy, bringing great benefits to its users and employees and, above all, increasing productivity”.

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.
