Cel-Fi speeds up cellular improvements and FirstNet public safety offering capability

Building owners and facility managers are looking for ways to improve cellular signal within their properties and 2020 is the right year to make a move. UHP Wireless Networks (UHP) is positioned for faster deployments by becoming a Certified Reseller with the Cel-Fi QUATRA solutions from Nextivity. UHP is also a FirstNet Dealer through AT&T for public safety first responders.

We often use our cell phones more than our desk phones, but concrete walls and energy efficient window tinting blocks customer calls from getting through.  Building owners have known about in-building cellular solutions, but may be fearful of the expense or unsure about the technology.  Cel-Fi QUATRA allows installers like UHP Wireless Networks to address both concerns with a dependable solution.

“We’re excited to have a solution that allows us to survey, deploy and optimize in-building cellular within a timeframe and budget our customers expect. Cel-Fi QUATRA offers flexibility in carrier coverage and is designed to be friendly to the carrier’s environment. Employees see (hear) the difference right away.”

 Smart Buildings Get Safer Through Actility’s Network Management Platform

2020 is the perfect time to take advantage of the Internet of Things (IoT) for your facility.  UHP Wireless Networks brings years of experience in infrastructure deployment together with Actility’s IoT Platform, making it easier to scale and manage IoT technology.

Smart Buildings bring real time date for efficient operations and facilities management. As operations and IT staff begin to work together on addressing deployment challenges, partners like UHP Wireless Networks bring ideas that can be implemented now. The Actility’s ThingPark™ platform for IoT brings management to a wide range of devices, sensors and the applications that allow you to ‘see and hear’ your building.  ThingPark™ platform and network technology to deploy, operate and maintain public and private wireless IoT networks within a unified, scalable and versatile network infrastructure.

IoT delivering smart buildings and digital facilities management

IoT offers ideal mechanisms to make buildings more sustainable and productive. Simple, low-cost sensor devices provide valuable real-time contextualized data. Together with Actility, UHP Wireless Networks enable building management companies to deliver various services using a common IoT enabler platform, providing LoRaWAN™  network server and software to manage public city-owned or private networks, under a unified, scalable, multipurpose IoT network infrastructure.

Specifically, LoRaWAN™ is ideal for Smart Building applications, because LoRaWAN™ has the lowest cost for network infrastructure deployment and maintenance thanks to its high link budget, long range, good redundancy and ease for scaling densification. Cost-efficient IoT solution well-complementing legacy BMS.

“We are excited to have a platform which makes IoT deployment less worrisome for building owners and facility managers. ThingPark provides use of IoT for insight into building operations and data for management decisions. It’s scalable on the LoRaWAN standard to start with Occupancy Monitoring, and add other functions like Smart Parking, Waste Bin Monitoring and Tenant Surveying later.” said Jonathan Ford, Managing Partner at UHP Wireless Networks.

“Smart Buildings and Smart Cities are major domains which are benefiting from a large variety of IoT use cases. We are pleased to expand IoT applications in the US with such a great partner as UHP Wireless Networks” added Nicolas Jordan, COO at Actility.
