    The problem

    Why police stations lose signal

    Secure construction, custody areas and basement facilities block mobile signal where officers need it.

    Secure construction

    Reinforced walls keep signal out.

    Officer safety

    Staff must be reachable anywhere in the building.

    Custody and basements

    Lower floors often have no signal.

    Mobile working

    Officers use phones and tablets for daily work.

    How it works

    Outdoor signal, brought inside

    1. CaptureA donor antenna on the roof picks up the strongest signal from each network we measured during the survey.
    2. Clean and amplifyA Nextivity CEL-FI unit boosts that signal without interfering with the network or your neighbours.
    3. SpreadSmall indoor antennas cover every floor, so phones get full signal wherever people work.
    One networkA single-network system, ideal when everyone uses the same network.

    What happens next

    From survey to full signal, usually in weeks

    One team does the whole job, so there is one point of contact from the first call to ongoing support.

    FAQ

    Police station signal boosters: common questions

    Can you work to security requirements?

    Yes. We plan access, escorts and fixings with your estates and security teams.

    Can coverage be limited to certain areas?

    Yes. We design coverage for the areas you choose.

    How long does installation take?

    It depends on the size of the building. The quote includes an installation plan, and we work around your opening hours to keep disruption low.

    Are signal boosters legal in the UK?

    Yes, if they meet Ofcom’s rules. Since the Wireless Telegraphy (Mobile Repeater) (Exemption) Regulations 2018, approved single-network boosters can be used without a licence. Multi-network systems need the networks’ consent, which we arrange. Unapproved boosters bought online are illegal, and Ofcom can act against anyone using one.

    Can one system cover every network?

    Yes. A multi-network CEL-FI QUATRA system covers EE, O2, Vodafone and Three, so staff and visitors get signal whichever network they use.
