Problems with late integration of in-house mobile communications in the construction process and in the building
Reliable mobile communications coverage in buildings is indispensable today - for employees, customers and for the operation of modern applications. Nevertheless, the issue of in-house mobile communications is often considered too late in the construction process. The result: complex retrofitting, higher costs and restrictions in terms of network quality.
Why early planning of in-house mobile communications is crucial
Wireless building solutions can be integrated efficiently and cost-effectively as early as the construction or renovation phase. However, if they are only integrated at a later stage, numerous problems arise that could have been avoided.
1. technical challenges
High construction costs: Subsequent laying of cable routes, lines and antennas requires intervention in the finished building structure.
Shielding building materials: Concrete, metal facades or thermal insulation glazing block mobile radio signals - subsequent adaptation is technically much more difficult.
Limited network quality: Without forward-looking planning, there will be dead spots or insufficient capacity for 5G in buildings, IoT applications or internal company campus networks.
2. economic disadvantages
Significantly higher costs: The subsequent integration of in-house mobile radio is significantly more expensive than planning during the construction phase.
Duplication of work: Construction work that has already been completed must be opened up or redone.
Follow-up costs due to outages: Poor mobile coverage in the building impairs productivity, business processes and customer and employee satisfaction
3. organizational problems
Delays in operation: Subsequent work can delay the move-in or use of a building.
More coordination effort: Building owners, grid operators and technology partners have to coordinate again.
Less room for maneuver: Many structural and technical options are no longer available after the fact.
Conclusion:
A head start through early integration of building radio
The subsequent integration of in-house mobile networks is associated with considerable technical, economic and organizational problems. Early planning saves costs, prevents delays and ensures stable mobile radio coverage in the building.
