Residents and guests of One Nine Elms, a luxury residential-led development in London, benefit from seamless mobile connectivity from all the mobile operators, including in the lifts, thanks to Freshwave’s deployment.
One Nine Elms, developed by Excel Winner UK, has two towers rising 42 and 57 storeys high which are linked together by a glazed bridge. Working closely with the developers and other contractors, we deployed a 4G distributed antenna system (DAS) to ensure everyone across both buildings can use mobile devices seamlessly, no matter what network they use. The DAS also provides an upgrade path to 5G and beyond for technologies in the future.
The deployment includes coverage for all the mobile network operators in the majority of the lifts, a first for a residential development in the UK. This means people can enter the development in the basement and continue using their devices uninterrupted until they reach their destination inside.
Project type
The digital infrastructure Freshwave deployed not only allows everyone in the development to use voice and data no matter where they are today, but also positions One Nine Elms to be able to add other digitally enabled services in the future that will keep the development at the cutting edge of technology.
The lifts enjoy dedicated connectivity from all the mobile operators, a first for a residential development in the UK
The distributed antenna system provides assured connectivity to all areas today, with the ability to extend it to other developments in the future
We’ve brought robust mobile connectivity to almost 1 million sq ft at the development
As a luxury development incorporating 103 branded residences managed by the UK’s first Park Hyatt Hotel, it was paramount for the premium visual aesthetic to be maintained when deploying mobile connectivity. This includes in the communal spaces such as the gyms, ballrooms and meeting rooms. Our approach ensured the robust connectivity demanded by clientele was balanced with respect for the high-end design.
The campus DAS serves both towers in the development and can also be extended to other sites as needed in the future.
Commercial Director
We have a discerning clientele with the highest of standards so that needed to be reflected in both the reliability of the mobile solution and the manner in which it was deployed. Working with Freshwave ensured that we not only received coverage across the development today from all the operators, including in the lifts, but that the solution they deployed will also continue to serve us as we introduce innovative new technologies in the future for the benefits of our residents and guests.
Freshwave were true partners in their approach and remained responsive and collaborative throughout the process.

Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) enhance mobile coverage in large, complex environments like stadiums, airports, and multi-building campus facilities. Whether a lead-lined wall is blocking outdoor mobile signal or the number of people trying to use their phones is too high - DAS is ideal for providing consistent, reliable connectivity in the largest, most challenging spaces and places.
