Omni connects all your building’s users across all mobile networks.

What is Freshwave’s
Omni Network?

Freshwave’s Omni Network connects your building to all UK mobile networks through a single, shared small-cell infrastructure. This provides reliable 4G and 5G coverage throughout the building, so tenants, employees and visitors can use their own network and stay connected on any floor.

All UK networks in one system
Reliable indoor 4G and 5G coverage
Simple deployment and managed service with 24/7 monitoring

The challenges of 
indoor connectivity

Thick walls, energy-efficient materials such as low-e glass, steel and dense concrete are great for sustainability but often block mobile signal from entering the building.

Signal coverage without Omni

Lift shafts

Lift shafts are typically surrounded by dense concrete and metal that block signal.

Windows affect signal

Modern windows can block or weaken mobile signal, preventing outdoor network coverage from reaching inside.

Building layouts

Large floorplans and internal walls can disrupt signal propagation and create coverage gaps.

Signal coverage with Omni

Lift Signal

Omni can provide wall-to-wall coverage including in basements and lifts.

Full Signal across the floor

Large floorplans and internal walls are no longer a problem with full-bar assured signal across the floor.
