Mobile phones have revolutionized the way work is done in every business and they are especially necessary in the civil service government departments. From filling in forms, data collection to scanning QR codes and simply being able to communicate quickly, mobile phones have transformed the speed at which government agencies can operate. By increasing efficiency, government costs are reduced, along with waiting times for businesses who deal with the civil service, both critically important aspects for a progressive civil service.

But courthouses, parliament buildings, city halls and department offices are large, sprawling buildings with thick walls and triple glazed windows, and they often have steel doors for security. These materials, whether old or modern, all block the operators’ mobile signal from entering the building.

Why Is It Important To Ensure Mobile Signal In Government Buildings And How To Enable That Signal?

Choose A System That Can Amplify The Mobile Signal From All Operators

Government buildings are vast and cover many floors. A variety of people including staff and visitors pass through the building, all trying to get work done as fast as possible. They must be able to make phone calls and have access to high speed data. It is not acceptable to ask visitors to use land lines for phone calls and to check the WIFI password in order to access apps to fill in forms etc. Such antiquated systems lead to long delays processing people and information. The easiest way to provide quality voice calls and high speed internet is to enable everyone to use their mobile phones, working off their own data plan. The Stella Doradus Repeater Solution amplifies the external signal from all operators and sends it inside the building to the desired areas, ensuring high quality mobile signal from all operators is available everywhere.

Ensure Stable Signal For Unlimited Numbers Of People

Large numbers of staff and transient visitors pass through the building. A system is required that will not become congested when multiple users use the internet at the same time.

When a Stella Repeater is installed in a building, large numbers of people can use the internet at the same time. The limit is actually set by the base stations, not by the repeater. This limit can be many hundreds of connections at the same time.

Ensure The System Allows Access To Mobile Signal For Mobile Payments And VISA Terminals

Many departments in government buildings receive payments from the public for immediate services, and the easiest way to accept payments is by using mobile VISA terminals. With payment mobile apps such as Apple and Google pay, people expect to just tap their phone and go. It is essential that good mobile signal is available in the building in order to process these payments quickly and efficiently. The Stella Repeater System amplifies the signal to all cellular devices in the building, from e-parking meters to VISA terminals.

Enable A Low Management Cyber Secure Network For All Staff And Visitors

Security is a major problem for Government offices and large amounts of money is spent providing secure networks. However, the security on the mobile operators’ cellular network is often far more secure than that provided by WIFI networks.

By enabling people to use their own data plan, Government institutions do not have to worry about the public having access to their WIFI network. A Stella Repeater System ensures that 5G, 4G, 3G and voice signal is available to each person, so that they can use their phones in the same way they do at home, working off their own data plan with high speed 5G.

Health And Safety

It is a government requirement that mobile phones operate in all areas at work to ensure staff are safe and secure. In emergency situations it is more important than ever to keep all channels of communication open. For this reason alone it is essential that everyone in the building has access to good mobile signal. If a local operator’s signal on one mast goes down, the phone will simply capture the signal from the next available mast, thus ensuring a stable connection at all times.

Stella repeaters receive the signal from the operators through an antenna on the roof of the building. This signal is then distributed to all areas inside the premises via multiple antennas. It is a modular system that can accommodate any size and any number of different facilities.
