Found yourself struggling with phone signal over the last few months? You’re not alone. A lack of infrastructure investment, planning rules and even your property could be causing the issues.
Problems in rural areas are obviously expected, but even people living in major UK cities have been complaining of poor coverage. One study by Yahoo! Found that London had the worst 5G speed of all of Europe’s major cities.
In this article, we’re going to talk about the reasons why, and how a WiFi survey could come to save you.
Infrastructure Issues
The UK hasn’t been updating its infrastructure quickly enough to keep up with the growing number of devices and users. Planning regulations have made it difficult to erect new telephone masts, which then limits how quickly 5G can be rolled out.
On top of the fact we don’t have enough towers, the ones we do have are struggling to cope. This is because of the government-imposed restrictions on Huawei, which came into place a few years ago. This ban was due to security concerns, but unfortunately without Huawei’s tech, we’ve struggled to get our 5G up and running.
Modern Homes
People working from home, especially in modern properties, are particularly struggling. Whilst new builds use better materials for energy efficiency, these materials basically block outdoor phone signals from entering the building. A bit of a catch-22.
That’s why homeworking WiFi solutions are so essential. Solutions like Meraki Z1 and Z3 devices can be pulled out of the box, plugged in virtually anywhere in the world, and instantly deliver a seamless “in-office” experience at home.
