Cellular Coverage

Better indoor cellular coverage — without hardware, construction, or upfront cost.

In qualifying commercial environments, this can also create a new revenue stream.

Pipefinder helps businesses improve indoor cellular coverage by leveraging the Wi-Fi network they already operate. This service requires no new equipment and no disruption to daily operations.

From the user’s perspective, phones simply work better.

Why is this different?

Traditional cellular solutions are sold to businesses as infrastructure upgrades — hardware-heavy projects that require capital, construction, and long-term maintenance.

Pipefinder’s approach is different.

Cellular carriers have a growing need to improve indoor connectivity in high-traffic commercial spaces. Rather than pushing those costs onto building owners, carriers compensate Pipefinder for enabling reliable indoor coverage using existing Wi-Fi infrastructure.

Pipefinder shares a portion of that compensation with participating businesses.

As a result, this service can make sense even when cellular service is already acceptable — turning indoor connectivity into a revenue-generating asset, not an expense.

The Pipefinder Approach

Pipefinder provides a software-based alternative to traditional cellular signal boosters.

Instead of installing hardware, we configure your existing Wi-Fi so mobile devices can automatically use it when cellular signal is weak or congested.

There is no app to install, no login required, and no change in user behavior.

Conceptually, it behaves like a cellular booster — without RF amplification or additional equipment.

What’s Required

  • An existing business-grade Wi-Fi network

  • Approximately 30 minutes of configuration time

No construction.

No equipment.

No impact to POS or internal systems.

Security & Network Integrity

This service is deployed using MSP-grade controls:

  • Cellular traffic is fully isolated from internal networks

  • No access to POS, corporate, or internal data

  • Optional VLANs and bandwidth limits are supported

  • Pipefinder does not inspect or access user content

Your network remains secure and fully under your control.

Cost

There is no cost to deploy or operate this service. Cellular carriers compensate Pipefinder for enabling reliable indoor connectivity in qualifying commercial environments, and Pipefinder shares a portion of that compensation with participating businesses.

Unlike traditional cellular solutions that require businesses to pay for hardware and installation, Pipefinder’s model allows qualifying venues to participate in carrier-funded deployments.

Pipefinder manages the configuration, carrier coordination, and ongoing operation as part of our connectivity services.

Ideal Environments

This solution works well for:

  • Airports

  • Retail stores and malls

  • Restaurants

  • Offices

  • Stadiums and Sports Facilities

  • Mixed-use developments

  • Luxury apartments with ground-floor retail

  • Education

  • HIPAA-compliant and aligned with major healthcare and privacy regulations

This solution is best suited for indoor environments with consistent foot traffic, customer dwell time, or operational reliance on mobile connectivity — regardless of whether cellular complaints already exist today

Getting Started

The first step is a short, non-technical conversation to confirm whether this is a good fit.

We start with a 15-minute overview to walk through how the service works, confirm eligibility, and answer any high-level questions. There is no obligation, no cost, and no preparation required.

If it makes sense to move forward, we’ll outline the next steps from there.
