Opened in September 2021, the new “Strath Union” building suffered from poor mobile phone connectivity. Like many modern, sustainably-designed buildings, this is caused by the materials used in construction blocking the signal, including Low-E glass, wood, and steel.
The team at Strath Union were keen for students to have a strong and consistent mobile signal to for multiple reasons, including improving health and safety, increasing dwell time, and enabling POS systems.
Due to the Union opening at the beginning of September, the timescales were tight – Boost Pro had to be able to design and install a solution within two weeks from the initial survey.
