How Can Your University Benefit From a NetCov Signal Booster
In our high-tech world, the learning process is becoming more and more digitalised. High-quality learning demands reliable, seamless and permanent internet and cellular network connections. It’s crucial that educators, students and administrators are able to use smartphones, tablets, laptops and computers to teach, collaborate and communicate. The success of these processes relies entirely on having a reliable and comprehensive phone signal.
At NetCov, we believe that signal boosters are imperative for educational institutions because they:
- Ensure all classes are carried out efficiently and effectively. A reliable mobile signal ensures that all classes can be delivered without communication issues.
- Ensure first-year students stay connected to their friends and family while living in dorms. Improving cell signals prevents new students living on campus from feeling isolated.
- Encourage distance learning, especially since the pandemic. Installing a signal booster better facilitates the live-streaming of lectures for long-distance students.
- Offer a smooth transfer of knowledge from one building to another. This ensures that smartphones and tablets can be used across campus, helping students to learn in an environment that suits them.
- Enhance the learning experience at the university, for computing, engineering, business and the arts, and better support mobile learning initiatives.
- Aid in keeping up the university’s reputation. Connectivity is no longer a luxury for educational institutions, but a necessity.
- Improve staff communication, facilitating a faster, technically sound environment and more effective communication between faculties.
- Better safety for students, lecturers and staff. Poor mobile signals can put everyone at risk if there’s an emergency. Signal boosters ensure easy communication and the ability to contact emergency services regardless of location.
- More reliable security systems. Many safety and alert systems in universities depend on the quality and reliability of cellular reception.
NetCov offers complete installation, ongoing maintenance and specialist advice tailored to the educational sector. We offer a bespoke solution to solve your connectivity needs.
How Do Signal Boosters Work in Universities?
What Affects Mobile Phone Signal Strength in Universities?
Both students and staff rely on mobile phones as valuable tools for communication, safety and learning. However, several factors can affect mobile phone signal strength in universities, including:
- Construction materials. Many universities have old buildings which are constructed from brick and stone which can weaken phone signals. Newer university buildings might have fibre-glass insulation which can also deflect signals.
- Building layout. Universities can have large and complex layouts, with windowless rooms, lecture theatres and basement auditoriums. This means signals struggle to reach interior spaces, causing dead zones.
- Energy-efficient windows. Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass, often used in energy-efficient windows, can make it difficult for cell signals to pass through the window.
- Network congestion. Universities have thousands of students trying to connect to the internet or make phone calls which can reduce the quality of cellular signals.
- Crowded environments. City universities are located in busy city centres which further increases the problem of network congestion.
- Nearby hills or other obstructions. Mountains, trees or tall university buildings can also harm cell phone connectivity.
How Do Signal Boosters Signal Boosters for Universities Improve Poor Mobile Signals?
Our university cell phone boosters work by picking up your desired network (such as EE, O2, Vodafone, Three and many others). They then amplify this signal in the places where you need it the most, such as dorm rooms or lecture theatres with poor cellular reception. As a result, you’ll receive an enhanced mobile signal plus full coverage in all areas of the university. With our commercial boosters, you can have multiple devices set up around the university to make sure no corner is left without the connectivity you need.

University Signal Booster FAQs
The main reasons why phone signal is poor in universities include:
- Environment
- Infrastructure
- Network bandwidth
The materials from which campuses are designed, such as concrete, steel and glass, prevent the wireless signals from passing freely inside the building. As a result, weak telecom coverage, and spotty cellular and internet connections are very common in university buildings. Unfortunately, this directly impacts the flow of information and the learning process. Installing a signal booster can be a cost-effective solution to improve connectivity across campus and university buildings.
No, our phone and data signal boosters for universities will not interfere with any WiFi signals.
The key reasons why mobile signal boosters are crucial in universities is that they:
