Repeater solution for warehouse repurposed as medical precinct

The facility was developed by repurposing an existing warehouse space, transforming it into a highly functional environment for specialist healthcare services including Orthopaedics, Gastroenterology, Urology, Endocrinology, and more.

The initial mobile signal in the warehouse was insufficient to support the needs of a modern healthcare facility, and the planned fit-out would further degrade coverage, necessitating a tailored solution.

The challenge

The transformation of an open warehouse into a structured healthcare environment introduced multiple obstacles for mobile signal propagation.

Each newly constructed wall, ceiling, and interior component increased signal attenuation, creating coverage gaps that would impact staff efficiency and patient experience. MC conducted on-site testing to assess existing coverage levels and develop a customised solution that would meet the specific needs of the site.

The solution

Initially, a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) was considered, but due to the size and location of the property, a repeater-based solution was identified as the most cost-effective and practical alternative.

With usable donor signals from nearby macrocells, MC deployed a Madison Commander enclosure housing three Nextivity Cel-Fi GO G41 repeaters, ensuring seamless carrier-approved coverage across the entire complex.

The results

MC successfully delivered the project on schedule, aligning with the broader fit-out timeline. Post-installation testing confirmed a significant improvement in signal strength across all three carriers, ensuring reliable voice and data connectivity throughout the facility.

The installation of the Madison Commander enclosure provided additional security and efficiency, reducing on-site deployment time while offering a lockable, tamper-proof solution. Staff, patients, and visitors now benefit from consistent mobile coverage, supporting essential healthcare communications and enhancing the overall user experience.
