How Can Your Commercial Building Benefit From a NetCov Signal Booster
It can be extremely frustrating if you’re taking an important call and you need to use an elevator. Lifts act as Faraday cages, effectively blocking all mobile phone signals and making it impossible to maintain a cellular connection. For many businesses, this can result in missed or dropped calls and harm productivity.
Investing in one of our Ofcom-approved signal boosters is the best way to ensure seamless mobile coverage throughout your commercial or office building, and allow your employees to remain connected even when moving between floors.
Here are some of the main reasons why we believe that installing a signal-boosting system in your lift should be a priority for your business:
- Allow your employees to stay connected at all times. Installing one of our signal boosters means that your staff won’t be cut off when on the phone with a client or trying to conduct business. They’ll be guaranteed a high-quality voice signal no matter where they are in the building.
- Better experience for customers or clients. Improving mobile connectivity inside lifts means that any visitors to your building can stay connected by accessing mobile data and taking or placing calls while moving floors.
- Improved voice call quality. By installing a signal booster in the lift shaft, you can ensure your staff and visitors have access to the highest quality voice signals for taking and making important calls.
- A better mobile data connection inside the lift. Better connectivity also means that employees can have access to mobile data allowing them to continue working or checking important information even while on the move.
- Improved productivity and more streamlined operations. Providing improved phone signals in lifts can increase efficiency in the workplace by reducing disruptions caused by a lack of signal. Business operations can continue regardless of where employees are located.
- Increased safety for employees and visitors. Having access to a high-quality cellular signal inside a lift means that emergency services can easily be contacted if there’s a power outage or the lift breaks down.
NetCov offers complete installation, ongoing maintenance and specialist advice tailored to lifts in commercial buildings, offices and other properties. We offer a bespoke solution to solve your connectivity needs.
How Do Signal Boosters Work in Lifts?
What Affects Mobile Phone Signal Strength in Lifts?
Most lifts have very poor or non-existent mobile phone signal and are effectively a dead zone Here’s an overview of the main reasons why elevators have such poor mobile phone signal:
- The metal structure of the lift. This structure acts as a Faraday cage blocking and reflecting all radio signals (cellular signals) and preventing them from reaching the nearest mobile phone tower.
- The lift’s location. Most lifts are located in the interior of a building, which can further reduce signal strength.
- Building materials. Elevator shafts are typically constructed from thick concrete walls which can block mobile phone signals from entering.
How Do Signal Boosters Improve Poor Mobile Signal in Lifts?
Our lift signal boosters work by picking up your desired network (such as EE, O2, Vodafone, Three and many others) and amplifying this signal inside the lift. An external antenna is installed on the exterior of your building which captures the signal and transmits it to the booster device. After the signal is amplified, it’s sent to an internal antenna which can be strategically placed in your elevator shaft to ensure seamless coverage. After the installation, your employees will be able to stay connected whilst moving between floors helping to streamline operations and boost productivity.

Why Is a Signal Booster a Better Solution Than WiFi to Improve Connectivity in Lifts?
Although it is possible to install WiFi in a lift, this requires specialist equipment to overcome the issues with signal attenuation caused by the metal lift structure. Typically multiple access points are set up along the elevator shift which means devices need to switch between these different access points as they move floors. Installing a lift signal booster is a much more effective solution as users can remain seamlessly connected and able to take and place calls no matter where they are in the building.
Here are some of the main advantages of installing a high-performance signal booster:
A cellular connection is more secure than WiFi.
Visitors and clients can easily place calls and connect to the internet without logging in.
There is less interference and fewer network issues.
This combination ensures seamless connectivity throughout your building.

Lift Signal Boosters FAQs
Yes, installing a specialised lift signal booster can significantly improve mobile phone reception. Signal-boosting technology works by amplifying the weak existing signal and distributing it inside the elevator ensuring better access to mobile data, better call quality and more reliable mobile connectivity. Learn more about improving mobile connectivity by booking your free initial consultation.
Yes, signal boosters are legal in the UK, but they are heavily regulated and controlled. To be legally compliant all signal boosters must be approved by the UK communications regulator, Ofcom. At NetCov we install high-quality Cel-Fi signal boosters which are Of-com approved and licence exempt meaning they can be legally deployed without a licence.
No, a lift signal booster will not affect the performance or function of your elevator. Signal boosters are designed to work independently of the lift’s mechanical functions and provided they are installed correctly by professionals there is no need to worry about your signal booster affecting your lift in any way.
Lifts are known to have extremely poor or even non-existent mobile signals. This is because the metal structure of the lift acts as a Faraday cage effectively blocking or weakening all radio waves, including those used in phone signals. Most elevator shafts are made of concrete and metal which can further weaken mobile signal strength.
If your commercial building or workplace is struggling with poor lift connectivity, installing one of our high-quality mobile signal boosters is the best way to ensure seamless communication throughout your building.
Yes, a signal-boosting system can be a cost-effective way to improve connectivity in your lift and throughout your commercial building. The installation costs of your signal-boosting system will depend on several factors, including the height of the lift shaft and number of lifts that need to be covered. However, this initial investment will quickly become worthwhile due to the many benefits of increased connectivity to your business.
