In-Building Cellular Coverage for Hotels

Skip the Six-Figure Build

A multi-carrier DAS runs $250K–$1M+. Carrier offload delivers the same in-building coverage on the network you already own.

Cellular-Grade Coverage

AT&T and T‑Mobile devices auto-authenticate and get full signal indoors — a dead-zone guest room went from ~1 Mbps to 600–700 Mbps.

Live in Days, Not Months

It’s a configuration overlay on your existing Cisco Meraki access points — no new hardware, no RF tuning, no construction.


THE PROBLEM

Dead Zones Hurt the Guest Experience

Guests judge a hotel by whether their phone works — in the room, at the pool, in the ballroom — but cellular rarely reaches through concrete and low-E glass. The traditional fix, a Distributed Antenna System, rebroadcasts licensed cellular through a head-end, coax or fiber, and a grid of antennas. A multi-carrier active DAS runs roughly $5–$10 per square foot — $250,000 to $1,000,000+ for a mid-size building, and into the millions for large venues — plus RF design, fire-code compliance, carrier approvals, and months of installation. For most buildings there isn’t a right-sized DAS option at all.

And even when the budget is there, a DAS is a fixed, single-purpose build: every carrier has to sign off, any change means truck rolls and RF re-tuning, and you own the upkeep for years. So most offices, hotels, clinics, and venues simply live with dead zones — not because good coverage is impossible, but because the only “official” fix is priced for stadiums.

THE ALTERNATIVE

Carrier Offload: The Same Coverage on Hardware You Already Own

AT&T and T‑Mobile phones auto-authenticate using the SIM credentials already on the device — no SSID picker, no captive portal, no MDM profile. Voice and text stay tunneled to the carrier; your Wi‑Fi is just the radio.

  • Runs on your network — a configuration overlay on your existing Cisco Meraki (and other enterprise) access points, with no new hardware.
  • Devices auto-authenticate — AT&T and T‑Mobile connect automatically using the SIM already on the device.
  • Isolated & secure — runs on its own encrypted VLAN; you never see IMSIs, phone numbers, or SIM keys.
  • Scales & grows — add sites by replicating the config; Verizon joins later via a config change, not a redeploy.

HOW IT WORKS

Up and Running in Days

1

Assess

We survey your building’s coverage and confirm your existing Wi‑Fi — Cisco Meraki or other enterprise APs — can support carrier offload. No disruption, no commitment.

2

Deploy

We enable carrier offload on your existing access points as a configuration change — no new hardware.

3

Auto-Authenticate

AT&T and T‑Mobile phones connect automatically in the background using the SIM credentials they already carry — no app, no login for your users.

4

Scale

Replicate the same config across every site — and add Verizon by end of year without a redeploy.


COMMON QUESTIONS

Hotel Cellular Coverage — FAQ

A DAS is a network of antennas connected to a central head-end that rebroadcasts licensed cellular signal throughout a building. It improves coverage but requires dedicated hardware, RF design, cabling, and carrier approvals.

A multi-carrier active DAS typically runs $5–$10 per square foot installed — roughly $250,000 to $1,000,000+ for a mid-size building, and into the millions for large venues, before RF tuning and fire-code compliance.

Yes. It delivers the same in-building coverage and capacity over the enterprise Wi‑Fi you already own — a real deployment took a dead-zone guest room from ~1 Mbps to 600–700 Mbps.

It’s a configuration overlay on Cisco Meraki and other major enterprise platforms. No new hardware or licensing required.
