Storey faced a significant mobile signal issue at 6 Orsman Road, a state-of-the-art office building spanning six floors and covering 41,322 square feet. Located on Regent’s Canal in the bustling Haggerston area, the building is known for its innovative use of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and steel in its construction. While these materials deliver sustainability and efficiency, they posed a major challenge to mobile connectivity.

Although the building had sufficient external mobile signal strength due to its central London location, the combination of CLT, steel, insulated cladding, and SIP panels created barriers that blocked the signal from penetrating the interior, particularly in lower floors. This connectivity issue needed an immediate solution to meet tenant expectations and maintain Storey’s reputation for offering high-quality office environments.

Storey aimed to provide a seamless mobile experience for tenants to support their daily operations. Poor signal quality was hindering tenants’ ability to make calls and access mobile data, which impacted their productivity. Storey required a cost-effective, efficient solution that would deliver strong, reliable mobile coverage across all major UK networks without the complexities of traditional Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS).

Traditional DAS solutions had been considered in the past but were found to be expensive, time-intensive, and difficult to maintain. Storey selected the CEL-FI QUATRA 1000, a cost-effective mobile signal booster system that supports all major UK mobile networks, including EE, Vodafone, O2, and Three.

A detailed site survey identified the external and internal factors affecting mobile signal quality. The survey confirmed that external signals were strong enough to work with the CEL-FI QUATRA 1000, which could then amplify and distribute the signal throughout the building effectively.

The CEL-FI QUATRA 1000 was integrated into the building’s corporate IT network, providing a scalable and reliable solution. Additionally, the system’s remote management capabilities allow Storey’s IT team to monitor and optimize performance as needed.

Since implementing the CEL-FI QUATRA 1000 solution, mobile coverage has dramatically improved across all areas of the building. Even previously problematic locations, such as the lower floors, now have strong and reliable mobile signal strength. Tenants benefit from consistent mobile connectivity that enhances their ability to make calls, access mobile data, and stay productive.

By addressing these mobile connectivity challenges, Storey has ensured that 6 Orsman Road remains an attractive choice for businesses seeking modern office spaces with dependable infrastructure. The ability to remotely manage the solution ensures that mobile coverage will remain strong and future-proof as tenant needs evolve.

Storey’s investment in the CEL-FI QUATRA 1000 has successfully resolved mobile signal issues at 6 Orsman Road. The scalable and efficient solution has improved tenant satisfaction, supported business productivity, and reinforced Storey’s reputation for delivering premium, flexible workspaces with reliable connectivity.
