Do signal boosters work in offices?

Yes — a professionally installed Nextivity Cel-Fi system fixes poor mobile signal in offices. For a small office or single floor, a Cel-Fi GO G43 (from £5,995) boosts EE, O2 and VodafoneThree from one unit. Multi-floor offices typically use a Cel-Fi QUATRA system, sized and quoted after a site survey. Zonegen installs across London and the South East.

Why is mobile signal poor in offices?

Energy-efficient glazing

Modern low-emissivity glass is coated with a metallic layer that reflects mobile signal. Glass-fronted offices are often worse inside than older buildings.

Concrete cores and steel frames

Lift shafts, stair cores and steel structures absorb signal, leaving inner meeting rooms and central desks as dead zones.

Basements and lower floors

Receptions, gyms, post rooms and basement car parks rarely get usable signal from outdoor masts.

Mixed networks across the team

Staff and visitors use EE, O2 and VodafoneThree. A one-network fix leaves part of the team still dropping calls.

Questions about signal boosters for offices

Can a signal booster cover multiple floors of an office building?

Yes. Cel-Fi QUATRA systems distribute signal over CAT6 cabling to up to 12 Coverage Units, so one system can serve several floors. Zonegen designs the layout at survey so every floor, meeting room and reception area is covered.

Why is mobile signal so bad in modern office buildings?

Energy-efficient glazing, steel frames and concrete cores block or reflect mobile signal. The better insulated the building, the worse indoor signal tends to be — which is exactly the problem an in-building booster solves.

How much does an office signal booster cost?

A Cel-Fi GO G43 covering all three UK networks starts from £5,995. Larger multi-floor systems (Cel-Fi QUATRA EVO or 4000e) are sized to the building and quoted after a survey. The survey cost is refunded if you go ahead.

Will installation disrupt our office?

Zonegen plans cable routes and equipment placement at survey to keep disruption low. Small installs are usually completed in a day; larger projects are scheduled around your working hours.

Is Wi-Fi calling a good enough alternative for offices?

Wi-Fi calling helps some handsets, but it depends on each phone and network supporting it, does not help mobile data on the move, and does not cover SIM-based devices like card terminals. A booster fixes native mobile signal for every phone and device.
