How Can Your Warehouse Benefit From a NetCov Signal Booster
Constructed from heavy steel, warehouses are often dead zones for mobile phone signals. If your commercial building struggles with poor mobile signal, this can hurt productivity and ultimately affect your bottom line.
At NetCov, we aim to get you the best signal possible through our cell phone boosters for warehouses. A strong signal is crucial for those working in warehouses to stay ahead of competitors. Here are some of the main reasons why we believe a good phone signal is required for warehouses:
- Improved communication. Our signal boosters ensure you can communicate with everyone on-site and off in your warehouse. Providing improved phone signals can increase efficiency and client communication and ensure warehouse visitors can make important calls.
- Boosts productivity. Improving cell reception in your warehouse helps increase communication, ensuring no work is missed and everything is completed by the deadline.
- Increases safety. If someone gets hurt during work, cell phone boosters for warehouses ensure that emergency calls can be placed. It can also enhance the safety of security and fire alarms, as some of these systems rely on a mobile backup.
- Optimises inventory management processes. Some wireless handheld barcode scanners and RFID readers use cellular signals to scan products and transmit data in real-time, helping to make your inventory management systems more efficient.
- Allows for more automation. Increased connectivity can help your warehouse implement more efficient and accurate automated systems, such as Automated Store and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) and GPS trackers.
- Less risk of dead zones. Warehouses are usually built with materials that cause dead zones (areas that lack signal). Signal boosters help to decrease the dead zones in your warehouse and keep you connected at all times.
- Compliments Wi-Fi infrastructure. Using mobile signal boosters for warehouses ensures the best in-building mobile connectivity, complementing existing WiFi solutions.
- More stable connectivity. Using proper signal solutions in your warehouse ensures that temporary technical difficulties with your WiFi do not interfere with your work within the warehouse.
NetCov offers complete installation, ongoing maintenance and specialist advice tailored to the commercial sector. We offer a bespoke solution to solve your warehouse’s connectivity needs.
How Do Signal Boosters Work in Warehouses?
What Affects Mobile Phone Signal Strength in Warehouses?
Several factors can affect mobile phone signal strength in warehouses, including:
- Construction materials. Warehouses are often built from materials like reinforced concrete and metal roof sheets which can block phone signals.
- Building size. Warehouses are typically large structures with high ceilings which can also negatively impact mobile signals.
- Underground spaces. If a warehouse has underground space, such as a basement, there will likely be a very weak signal there or no signal at all.
- Distance from cell tower. Many warehouses are located in remote areas which means there might not be a cell tower near enough to provide adequate reception.
- Nearby hills or other obstructions. Mountains, trees or tall buildings can also harm cell phone connectivity. Large machinery or high storage racks inside the warehouse can also be detrimental.
How Do Signal Boosters for Warehouses Improve Poor Mobile Signals?
Our phone boosters for warehouses work by picking up your desired network (EE, O2, Vodafone, Three) and amplifying this signal where you need it the most. With our commercial boosters, you can set up multiple devices around any warehouse to ensure every corner is not kept from the necessary connectivity.

Why Do I Need to Improve Cellular Connectivity When I Have WiFi?
If you have WiFi in your warehouse, you might think this is sufficient to increase connectivity, improve communication and enhance productivity. However, WiFi is not a comprehensive solution and there’s likely to still be problems with dead zones and the ability to place calls.
Here are some of the main advantages of combining WiFi with a strong mobile signal in a warehouse:
Visitors can access the internet without needing to log in and place important calls.
A cellular connection is more secure than WiFi.
There is less interference and fewer network issues.
Combining WiFi and cellular connectivity ensures seamless connectivity throughout the warehouse.

Warehouse Signal Booster FAQs
Warehouses generally receive poor phone signals due to the building materials, which either block or significantly weaken the signal for the receiver. Materials commonly used in warehouse construction, such as glass, concrete and metals, block users from receiving the best signal inside the warehouse. Other contributing factors include the warehouse’s location, weather and heavy cellular traffic
Using a phone signal booster from NetCov will help improve phone connectivity and reduce the likelihood of dead zones.
No, our data and cell signal boosters for warehouses will not interfere with any WiFi signals.
The only guaranteed way to amplify phone and data signals in warehouses and other commercial facilities is to use one of our signal booster devices. At NetCov, we offer high-quality cell signal boosters designed to improve connectivity by amplifying existing signals.
