The Problem

Johnson's Crane Hire's Burgersfort had very weak signal. Making and receiving calls inside the office area was nearly impossible, and their LTE data speeds were extremely slow.

The Solution

Our team visited the client's premises and conducted a full site-survey including signal strength analysis of all the different areas in the offices and an area survey to locate the nearest towers.

Based on our findings a high-gain LPDA antenna was installed outside, pointing to a tower 8km away. Due to the poor signal, the best solution for the client was the WilsonPro A1000 that was installed with 3 indoor ceiling mount dome broadcasting antennas.

The Results

The results from this installation was superb. From an absolute dead zone to making and receiving clear, quality calls and greatly improved data speeds.
