Stronger Cell Signal, Better Living: A Connectivity Upgrade

Nestled along the picturesque West Coast of Cape Town, Atlantic Beach Golf Estate is one of South Africa’s premier residential estates. This luxurious, secure estate offers world-class amenities, including a championship 18-hole golf course, nature trails, a modern fitness center, and exclusive access to pristine beaches. The estate is known for its stunning views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, providing residents with a perfect blend of natural beauty and sophisticated living.

With a strong focus on security, lifestyle, and sustainability, Atlantic Beach Golf Estate attracts discerning homeowners looking for tranquility, elegance, and convenience. However, due to its location and the use of high-quality building materials, many homes experience cellular signal challenges.

Residential Estate

The Problem

A homeowner residing in Sea Bamboo Lane at Atlantic Beach Golf Estate contacted us with a significant connectivity issue. The combination of the estate’s remote location and signal-blocking construction materials created a complete dead zone for cellular signal, with no reliable 2G, 3G, or 4G LTE coverage. Weak signal strength affected both voice calls and mobile data performance, leading to frustration and unreliable communication.

Recognizing that this issue might not be isolated, we conducted a broader site survey across the estate. Our findings confirmed that many other homes in the community suffer from similarly poor cellular coverage, leaving residents unaware of potential solutions.

The Solution

To accurately assess the situation, we conducted an in-depth site survey to assess signal strength, identifying any potential obstacles to a smooth installation. The results confirmed the absence of a usable cellular signal inside the home, validating the homeowner’s experience and the need for an effective solution. To resolve the client’s connectivity issues, we proposed and installed a WilsonPro A1000 signal booster system, designed to enhance cellular signal for voice and data.

How It Works

Signal Capture (Donor): We deployed the powerful Beacon Antenna and strategically placed to capture the strongest available signal from outside.

Signal Amplification: The WilsonPro A1000 signal boosters worked to amplify these captured signals, ensuring stronger reception inside the building.

Signal Distribution (Transmitter): The amplified signals were then seamlessly distributed the boosted signal effectively across targeted areas by two Wall-Mount Panel Antennas

Circuit Design

Our expert team carried out the installation efficiently, ensuring optimal positioning of all components for maximum coverage. The beacon donor antenna was carefully placed to capture the best available outdoor signal, which was then amplified and redistributed through the strategically mounted indoor panel antennas.

The Result

After installation, signal strength inside the home improved dramatically. The homeowner experienced a significant enhancement in both voice call quality and data speeds, allowing for seamless mobile connectivity.

Pre-Installation Signal Readings: -102 dBm (No reliable 2G, 3G, or 4G LTE)
