When tornadoes hit the Richmond area last September, local authorities credited Wireless Emergency Alerts on smartphones and continuous storm coverage on local television for quickly getting the word out to the public.

When civil and weather emergencies hit the region, is the mobile coverage in your building able to get these life-saving alerts to every employee?

This is important because commercial structures are not designed with cell signal reception in mind. In fact, there is a 50% loss of strength when signals must pass through building materials such as concrete, metal, steel, marble, plaster, drywall and insulation. Exterior signal impediments include trees, shadowing from other buildings close by, and poor cell tower line of sight.

That’s why smart businesses are turning to affordable cell phone signal amplifiers to extend coverage to every corner of their building. This not only ensures that employees are more efficient and productive it enables them to receive civil and weather emergency alerts.
