We deliver increased connectivity to indoor and outdoor locations where a dedicated system is needed due to high footfall or demand. Sites include transportation hubs like airports, tunnels and shopping centres as well as major sports/entertainment venues.
Some locations simply aren’t served by the traditional coverage layer that mobile network operators deploy. We understand this problem and work with landlords and mobile network operators to install bespoke systems that provide enough coverage and capacity to meet the ‘peak demand’. By doing this we help deliver those golden moments when everyone reaches for their phone or device at the same time.
Large groups of people gather in one place to enjoy a memorable and shared experience. Mobile networks have traditionally been designed to support users as they consume data on the move, not as people gather in one location for a prolonged period of time. So a different solution is needed for venues, one that is designed specifically to provide capacity to that location for those moments when we all want connectivity.
We analyse the location, people movement and total capacity in order to build 3D models that plot how and where connectivity is needed, how much will be needed and how best to deliver this to the users. The design for each venue is bespoke and dependent upon its characteristics; airports and stadiums both contain large numbers of people but operate in completely different ways and require unique solutions.
Improving mobile connectivity is important for many reasons:
Founded in 2007, Shared Access has a long history of investing and developing infrastructure. We have built deep links to our mobile operator and landlord partners to ensure we can always deliver at the highest level. In the venue space we have been trusted by strategically important customers including Newcastle Airport, Dundrum Shopping Centre (the largest shopping centre in Ireland) and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club – as they built the greatest sporting stadium in the world.
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.
