Today, indoor mobile connectivity is an essential service in any building. It allows users to access business applications, make calls, or use digital services anywhere. Just like electricity or heating, it is a key factor in making your buildings attractive.
However, the propagation of mobile signals transmitted by operators from outside can be affected by environmental building codes designed to improve thermal efficiency, which make buildings more airtight.
This situation is set to worsen with the rollout of 5G using even less penetrating frequency bands.
In addition, heavy traffic also affects the quality of mobile coverage. With the growing number of users and the emergence of new mobile uses, it is necessary to install a dedicated infrastructure to guarantee excellent quality 4G-5G coverage for all.
Mobile connectivity becomes a guarantee of attractiveness for your buildings.
Do you notice disparities in the quality of mobile coverage in different areas of your buildings (halls, floors, parking lots, etc.)?
Conduct a mobile coverage audit to objectively assess your connectivity needs.
To address the challenges of indoor mobile coverage, TDF offers a comprehensive range of 4G-5G mobile connectivity solutions tailored to different types of buildings and business needs.
Grâce à une infrastructure dédiée et à des technologies telles que les systèmes DAS (Distributed Antenna System), il est possible d’assurer une couverture mobile homogène, une excellente qualité de service et un accès fiable aux réseaux des opérateurs pour l’ensemble des utilisateurs.
TDF propose également des systèmes de couverture mobile indoor mutualisés reposant sur des architectures de type BTS Hôtel, permettant de partager les infrastructures entre plusieurs bâtiments. Cette approche optimise les performances tout en réduisant significativement l’impact environnemental : jusqu’à 30 % d’empreinte carbone en moins pour l’hébergement par rapport à une solution DAS dédiée, et jusqu’à 44 % de réduction de la consommation électrique grâce à l’architecture BTS Hôtel. Ces résultats sont issus d’une analyse de cycle de vie réalisée pour évaluer les bénéfices environnementaux de ces solutions innovantes.

As a long-standing leader in telecommunications infrastructure in France, TDF supports businesses and real estate asset managers in implementing multi-carrier indoor mobile coverage solutions. From the initial design phase through to infrastructure operation, TDF is involved at every stage to ensure high-performance, sustainable mobile connectivity in your buildings.
Thanks to its recognized expertise and its impartiality toward operators, TDF designs and deploys solutions tailored to the specific needs of each site, while ensuring their long-term operation.
Step 1
Analysis of service quality and existing infrastructure to identify indoor mobile coverage needs.
Step 2
Designing an architectural layout tailored to the building’s specific characteristics and the users’ needs.
Step 3
Installation of equipment and commissioning of the mobile coverage solution.
Step 4
Monitoring, maintenance, and upgrades of the infrastructure to ensure long-term service quality.
Mobile coverage problems can affect all types of buildings. These can be caused by the nature of the materials used, or by heavy use.
Mobile coverage can be assessed through radio measurements taken inside the building, but also through predictive analysis based on floor plans prior to construction. This mobile coverage audit helps identify the coverage needs within your real estate portfolio.
5G will use higher frequency bands and therefore less penetration than 3G and 4G networks. As a result, mobile connectivity indoors will be degraded.
The infrastructure recommended by TDF is based on a DAS system, a mutualized architecture, enabling each operator's network to be rebroadcast.
A DAS (Distributed Antenna System) is a system consisting of a network of antennas distributed throughout a building (offices, parking garages, lobbies, floors, etc.). Connected to one another, these antennas distribute the mobile signal and provide stable 4G-5G connectivity throughout the entire building.
The solutions offered by TDF are based on multi-carrier infrastructure. They enable the networks of multiple mobile carriers to be integrated, ensuring consistent connectivity for all users, regardless of their service plan.
