Business Case for Building Owners & Managers

The Challenge

Building owners and managers of all types of building from hotels to hospitals are under pressure to provide ubiquitous in-building wireless (IBW) coverage. There are several reasons why they are compelled to address this issue.

We know that 90-95% of mobile data sessions originate inside buildings and building users now expect support for all mobile operators and emerging technologies, such as LTE. In those buildings where the operator will not provide wireless coverage the need to deliver falls back on the building owner. Landlords are driven by tenants who are increasing asking for in-building wireless coverage. At the same time local authorities, healthcare trusts and companies now accept that the adoption of in-building wireless coverage not only meets the needs of staff or tenants to have wireless access anytime anywhere, but can also increase staff productivity, save money and give them a competitive edge. In addition the building owner has to provide public safety radio, which is sometimes required by legislation.

The business case for IBW

Enhanced Lease Value and Strong RoI

Traditionally, the operator owned business model has been the more prevalent within the IBW space. However, increasingly building owners and managers are investing in effective and reliable wireless coverage to differentiate themselves as well as reaping the significant financial rewards that premium IBW can bring

  • Lower insurance premiums
  • Competitive edge over other building spaces through improved Quality of Service
  • Potential for higher lease fees
  • Tommy Russo, CIO Akridge Real Estate Services “Tenants are starting to ask for in-building wireless in their lease contracts. Having it gives us an edge over competitors”
  • Wireless applications such as motion sensors, door locks, lighting, alarm sensors, reduce energy consumption and therefore operating costs
  • Unified public safety and cellular communications
  • Addresses health & safety requirement
  • Cost saving by deploying ONE solution for all wireless needs
  • Enterprise owned models becoming more common
  • Healthcare – many facilities/IT teams look closely at modernising their in–building coverage to take advantage of new wireless patient connectivity, RFID and Wireless Medical Technology Service (WMTS)
  • Education – now more pro-active in securing in-building coverage
  • Neutral Host Providers – third party investing in public access verticals, such as shopping malls
