UK’s first Multi-Operator Digital DAS-based managed mobile connectivity service has been launched this week at Angel Court, a recently completed 24-storey mixed use tower in the heart of London.
The implementation of the Digital DAS-based system was undertaken by Freshwave Group, a new network service provider and Stanhope, a leading property developer. The two companies have deployed a comprehensive 4G system, delivering high-quality mobile signal with minimum download speeds of 60Mbps and up to 200Mbps by connecting occupiers to leading UK mobile operators throughout the 300,000 Sq Ft building.
Stanhope worked with the Freshwave Group’s indoor connectivity team StrattoOpencell to deploy an indoor mobile service providing occupiers, employees and visitors connectivity across all floors. StrattoOpencell deliver a truly neutral host managed service using mobile Small Cells and Digital Distributed Antenna Systems. Using technology approved for use by all four UK mobile network operators, it’s now possible to deliver 2G, 3G and 4G coverage with dedicated backhaul and an upgrade path to future 5G compatibility indoors, said StrattoOpencell.

With 5G on the horizon it seems natural to believe that indoor coverage is no longer a concern. In fact, and especially in dense high-rise developments, it remains a challenge to provide occupiers with high-quality mobile coverage.
Nick Hiles, Asset Management Director, Stanhope
This indoor mobile service provides the highest download speeds available on 4G while also providing an upgrade path to 5G – ensuring Angel Court occupiers will benefit from the best possible mobile connectivity today and tomorrow.
