Freshwave Deploys 4G Network at London

Freshwave Deploys 4G Network at London

UK connectivity infrastructure provider Freshwave, in collaboration with real estate technology firm Electracom Projects, has successfully deployed 4G connectivity from all four major UK mobile network operators (MNOs) at 8 Bishopsgate, a landmark development in the City of London. Developed by Mitsubishi Estate London and Stanhope, the 50-storey skyscraper spans over 900,000 square feet, with 500,000 square feet dedicated to office spaces. It is also the tallest building in the UK to achieve a BREEAM Outstanding sustainability rating. 

Seamless 4G Coverage with DAS Technology 

To ensure uninterrupted mobile connectivity throughout the building, Freshwave designed and installed a 4G distributed antenna system (DAS). The system directly integrates with MNO networks, overcoming signal interference caused by modern construction materials. Freshwave will also provide ongoing support through a managed service model. 

Addressing Connectivity Challenges 

Modern high-rise buildings often struggle with mobile signal penetration due to energy-efficient materials and structural designs. Freshwave’s DAS solution ensures reliable coverage for all occupants, with sixteen tenants already onboard under a commercial agreement with 8 Bishopsgate, Freshwave, and Electracom. 

Enhancing Smart Building Capabilities 

Nick Seaton, Director at Electracom Projects, emphasized the importance of seamless connectivity, stating that 8 Bishopsgate’s smart building technology allows occupants to use a mobile app for building access, room bookings, and event management. Freshwave’s mobile network integration further enhances the user experience, making connectivity a key part of the development’s technological infrastructure. 

Designed by WilkinsonEyre, 8 Bishopsgate dedicates 10 percent of its space—75,000 square feet—to public amenities, including a restaurant, café, terrace, event spaces, and The Lookout, a free-access viewing gallery on the 50th floor.
