Passenger journeys increasingly depend on reliable mobile performance
Transport hubs are mobile-first environments where passengers rely on smartphones for tickets, travel updates and navigation throughout their journey.
Indoor mobile infrastructure provides 4G and 5G coverage inside stations and terminals, also known as in-building mobile coverage, ensuring reliable mobile performance across concourses, platforms and underground areas.

Mobile tickets and boarding passes
Passengers increasingly rely on smartphones for tickets, boarding passes and digital travel documentation throughout their journey.
Navigation and travel information
Real-time travel updates, platform changes and wayfinding apps depend on reliable mobile access inside terminals and stations.
Passenger communication
Travellers rely on mobile devices to coordinate pickups, share travel updates and stay connected during delays or disruptions.
Operational staff communication
Transport staff coordinate operations across terminals, platforms and service areas using mobile communication.
Large structures and underground infrastructure
Transport hubs often include reinforced concrete, underground platforms and complex infrastructure that significantly weaken outdoor mobile signals.
Passenger safety and emergency communication
Reliable indoor coverage ensures that passengers and staff can contact emergency services anywhere within the facility.
“Reliable mobile infrastructure supports both
passenger experience and operational efficiency.”
Protecting the long-term value of transport infrastructure
Transport hubs are evolving into digital mobility platforms where passenger experience and operational efficiency increasingly depend on connectivity.
More than 70% of airline passengers now use mobile boarding passes, reflecting the shift toward mobile-first travel services
