Proptivity completes world-first deployment of new Ericsson feature for fully digital indoor 5G
Proptivity has completed the world’s first deployment of the Ericsson Host Management Control feature, at a commercial property in Oslo. The feature enables a mobile operator to connect its own baseband, digitally, into a shared Proptivity-managed radio infrastructure, with each operator retaining independent control of their own services. It is a new option for operators who want to integrate digitally into shared high-performance 5G infrastructure while managing their own equipment and still enables property owners to secure future-proof 5G across their buildings with a single infrastructure partner.
Operators have integrated into shared in-building systems for decades, but always through analogue signal distribution with limited performance and no path to modern 5G capability. With the Ericsson Host Management Control feature, part of the Ericsson Radio Dot System, operators can now connect their own baseband equipment digitally into a shared radio infrastructure. Each operator configures and controls most radio parameters independently, while Proptivity, as the infrastructure operator, manages the shared parameters that could otherwise impact other operators’ services, ensuring reliable and equal performance for all.
Proptivity is the first infrastructure operator in the world to deploy it. Operators gain access to high-performance shared infrastructure already funded, installed and operated by Proptivity, without the capital cost of a standalone deployment. For property owners, Proptivity manages the entire indoor infrastructure and all operator integrations as a single point of contact, securing building-wide 5G coverage for all users regardless of which operator they are on.
Because Proptivity holds no spectrum licence and serves no subscriber base, it has no commercial stake in which operator a tenant or visitor uses. Every operator connected to the infrastructure is treated equally, and investment decisions are driven by building performance rather than by any individual operator relationship. The property owner carries no capital investment. Proptivity funds the infrastructure against a monthly service fee, ensuring that mobile phones and cellular connected laptops work everywhere in the building, for every operator.
“Introducing the Host Management Control feature represents a major step forward in our advanced indoor solutions,” says Nils Andersson, Head of Indoor Radio, Business Area Networks at Ericsson. “It gives both operators and hosts much greater flexibility in managing access, boosts resource efficiency, and speeds up the secure rollout of new indoor services on a scalable platform. This development is helping to drive the industry towards more efficient and scalable digital indoor solutions with the Ericsson Radio Dot System, in close partnership with Proptivity.”
“Fully digital has been our baseline from day one.” says Mikael Lundman, CEO at Proptivity. “With Host Management Control, operators can integrate digitally into shared indoor infrastructure on their own terms, keeping full control of their own network within a system they do not have to fund or build. For property owners, nothing changes in terms of simplicity. Proptivity manages the infrastructure and all operator relationships. Together, this represents a step change in performance and simplicity for everyone in the building, operators, property owners and tenants alike.”

Why the modern office has a mobile problem, and what to do about it
There is a quiet frustration running through most modern office buildings. The glass looks spectacular. The interiors are thoughtfully designed. The energy ratings are excellent. And yet, step into the lift, the basement meeting room or the far corner of a deep floor plate, and mobile signal disappears.
This is not a coincidence. The same materials that make contemporary offices energy-efficient (sealed glazing, reinforced concrete, high-performance insulation) are precisely what keeps mobile signals out. And as the way we use offices continues to evolve, the gap between physical design and mobile performance is becoming harder to ignore.
The office has changed. Mobile expectations have not kept up.
Work is no longer something that happens at a fixed desk. People move around buildings all day, between hot desks, meeting rooms, terraces, garages and collaborative spaces. They expect their devices to follow them. When mobile coverage fails, so does productivity.
The issue is broader than convenience, though. Consider a few scenarios that most office managers will recognise immediately.
A visitor relies on their mobile connection because the host company restricts guest Wi-Fi for security reasons. A staff member cannot complete two-factor authentication in the basement. An emergency call fails because the stairwell has no coverage. A video meeting drops the moment someone steps into the lift.
These are not edge cases. They are daily realities in many commercial buildings across the UK, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
And the stakes are rising. Around 30% of new business laptops now ship with integrated 5G modems, meaning a growing share of enterprise computing is mobile-first by design. The office building needs to keep pace.
The financial case is increasingly clear
For property owners, this is not just a tenant satisfaction issue. The data on connectivity and asset value has become difficult to dismiss.
Research from WiredScore and Cushman & Wakefield points to average rental uplifts of around 5% for well-certified buildings, rising further when digital and smart certifications are combined. According to Boldyn Networks and Newsec, strong indoor mobile performance is associated with meaningfully lower vacancy risk. And a significant majority of tenants (68% in one survey) now consider high-quality indoor mobile coverage a requirement when evaluating premises.
In competitive leasing markets, weak coverage is no longer a minor inconvenience. It is a leasing risk.
What we have done, and what it looks like in practice
The Proptivity approach is to install shared indoor mobile infrastructure that serves all operators from a single system. No separate installations per operator. No legacy repeaters or passive DAS that were never designed for 5G capacity. One digital architecture, built from the ground up for the way modern buildings actually work.
London: The Folgate Building and The Dacre
In mid-2025, two landmark London office buildings became the first in the UK to deploy Proptivity’s advanced indoor mobile infrastructure. The Dacre in Westminster and The Folgate Building in the City were both advised by MAPP, one of the UK’s leading specialists in commercial real estate management.
The system delivers fibre-backed, active mobile signal across the entire building, including lifts, basements and stairwells. The Folgate Building was the first commercial building in the UK to feature Proptivity’s high-performance indoor 5G infrastructure, with EE being the first operator to go live on the system, using the Ericsson DOT small cell solution on a fully multi-operator, JOTS-compliant basis.
Ben Hughes, Head of Building Technologies at MAPP, noted that strong indoor mobile connectivity had become essential to occupiers’ productivity, employee satisfaction and cybersecurity, and that Proptivity’s solution offered future-proofed technology, energy efficiency and alignment with the clients’ ESG goals.
Stockholm: Sergelhusen with Vasakronan
In Sweden, Proptivity worked with Vasakronan to deploy shared indoor 5G at Sergelhusen, a prominent office development in central Stockholm. Together with one of its tenants, Vasakronan set out to explore how mobile-based technologies such as 5G-connected laptops, flexible IT environments and secure mobile connectivity could simplify operations, support hybrid work, and improve the experience for employees and visitors.
As Nicklas Wållberg Walldan, Head of Development at Vasakronan, put it: “It’s not just about strong coverage, it’s about creating smarter, more sustainable spaces that are ready for the future.”
Stockholm: Epicenter
Epicenter Stockholm, one of Scandinavia’s leading innovation hubs, is now live with full gigabit-speed indoor 5G. Speed tests confirmed gigabit performance indoors. The deployment at Epicenter has become a reference point for what a mobile-first office and innovation environment can look like in practice.
How it works, and why the architecture matters
Legacy indoor systems (repeaters and passive DAS) were designed for a different era. They extended voice coverage reasonably well, but they were not built for the data density and device diversity of a modern office.
Proptivity’s approach, reduces power consumption and equipment footprint significantly compared to legacy distributed antenna systems. The antennas are compact and silent. They integrate into finished interiors without visual disruption. Installation at a typical antenna location takes around two hours, including cabling.
The system is shared across all mobile operators, meaning the property owner signs a single agreement and every major operator can deliver service through the same infrastructure. There is no upfront capital investment required from the building owner. Proptivity funds, installs and operates the infrastructure end to end.
A note on Wi-Fi
The question of how indoor mobile infrastructure relates to Wi-Fi comes up in almost every conversation. The short answer is that they serve different roles and are not in competition.
Within leased office floors, enterprises typically run their own secure Wi-Fi systems for managed devices and internal applications. In shared spaces (lobbies, lifts, meeting rooms, garages, stairwells) mobile is often the more practical and secure solution for both staff and visitors. And for voice calls, two-factor authentication and emergency access, mobile is simply the right answer.
A well-designed office building in 2025 needs both. Neither replaces the other.
What this means for property owners
The office market is increasingly one where tenants arrive with mobile-first expectations. They carry 5G laptops and expect to use them throughout the building. They run video calls between floors. They need reliable authentication for security systems. Their visitors rely on their own mobile connections.
An office building that cannot support this reliably is at a disadvantage. Not in a dramatic way, but in the quiet way that affects leasing conversations, tenant renewals and the building’s long-term positioning in a competitive market.
Indoor mobile infrastructure is not the most visible feature of a premium office. But it is increasingly one of the features that tenants notice most when it is absent.
Proptivity designs, installs and operates shared indoor mobile infrastructure for commercial buildings across the UK, Italy, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

Proptivity and Vasakronan go live with high-performance indoor 5G at Sergelhusen
Vasakronan and Proptivity have gone live with high-performance indoor mobile infrastructure at Sergelhusen, delivering gigabit-speed 5G connectivity inside one of Stockholm’s most prominent office developments.
The deployment is built on Proptivity’s shared indoor mobile infrastructure platform, designed to provide consistent high-performance connectivity throughout the Sergelhusen complex. The system is multi-operator ready, enabling all Swedish mobile operators to deliver their services through the same infrastructure.
Reliable indoor mobile performance is increasingly becoming a baseline requirement in modern office buildings. As enterprises adopt mobile-first strategies, employees expect their phones, laptops and connected devices to function seamlessly throughout the property, from meeting rooms to elevators and parking areas.
This shift is closely linked to security priorities within enterprise IT. Many organisations are equipping employees with 5G-enabled laptops to provide secure, always-on connectivity based on SIM authentication and operator-grade encryption. Industry estimates indicate that more than 30% of new business laptops are now delivered with integrated 5G modems, reflecting the growing role of cellular connectivity in enterprise environments.
As enterprises build their connectivity and security architecture around cellular technology, indoor performance becomes a natural extension of that model. With gigabit-speed 5G now available inside the covered areas of Sergelhusen, companies can support secure 5G-enabled devices indoors and maintain a consistent connectivity experience across locations.
The infrastructure also supports a growing ecosystem of connected devices, including AI-enabled security cameras, sensors and robotics that rely on reliable, low-latency performance throughout the building.
“Enterprises are increasingly standardising on 5G laptops to strengthen security and simplify connectivity,” says Mikael Lundman, CEO of Proptivity. “Once that model is in place, it raises a simple question: why should the experience be different inside the office? Buildings that deliver reliable indoor 5G allow companies to operate consistently, wherever their people work.”
Across global markets, operators are now introducing advanced 5G enterprise services offering prioritised access and enhanced performance for business users. With high-performance indoor 5G already established at Sergelhusen, tenants are positioned to take advantage of these capabilities as they are introduced in Sweden.
