Cellular Coverage

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

Pipefinder helps businesses eliminate indoor cellular coverage issues 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.

The Problem

Many buildings have strong Wi-Fi but poor cellular performance due to building materials, congestion, or carrier limitations. This leads to:

  • Dropped calls

  • Slow or failed mobile payments

  • Customer frustration

  • Staff communication issues

Traditional fixes rely on antennas, repeaters, or DAS systems that are costly and disruptive.

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 this service.

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

Ideal Environments

This solution works well for:

  • Retail stores and malls

  • Restaurants

  • Offices

  • Mixed-use developments

  • Luxury apartments with ground-floor retail

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

If people complain about poor cellular service indoors, this can help.
