The challenge
No bars anywhere on site
The site had no usable cell service, which meant crews could not call, text or use field apps, and safety communication depended on radios alone.
There was no local network to tie into, so the solution had to bring its own connection to the internet.
The solution
A cellular network that brings its own backhaul
SimpleCom used satellite as the backhaul, fed it into an enterprise network extender, and broadcast the signal across the site with a high-gain antenna.
Satellite backhaul
Low-earth-orbit satellite provides the internet connection.
Enterprise network extender
Turns that connection into carrier-grade cell service.
High-gain broadcast antenna
Pushes coverage across the open site.
Trailer-based install
Everything mounted on the safety trailer, ready to move.
The result
Phones working across the whole site
Crews now have cell connectivity across several acres of land, all running from one trailer that can move to the next project.
