Toyota Scoresby

BUSINESS NEED

Toyota is the largest automobile manufacturer in Japan, and the second-largest in the world behind Volkswagen.

Toyota is considered a global market leading organization in sales of hybrid electric vehicles, and one of the largest companies to encourage the mass-market adoption of hybrid vehicles across the globe. Toyota is also a market leader in hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles.

THE CHALLENGE: Toyota Australia Headquarters has moved into a new state of the art Technology Park, this complex, due to its location and design had little to no cellular coverage throughout.

SOLUTION

Implement Sigtel Smart Signal Booster Solutions alongside Omni High Gain Antennas, and Pulse Larsen DAS Ultrathin Clear Antennas and Reflectors. The results of installation achieved high-quality cellular reception for all carriers in designated areas, maintained external building façade by using small form antennas, and insured consistent mobile communication capabilities to support the continued operation of a global market leading organization.

FINDING THE RIGHT SOLUTION

Toyota Australia procurement reached out to communications expert David Crawford, from SigTel Group, to find out how to improve mobile coverage within the building. He recommended 10 Smart Signal Boosters alongside Omni High Gain Antennas, and six Pulse Larsen DAS Ultrathin Clear Antennas and Reflectors. Toyota selected SigTel Group after an extensive review of the product, as well as other solutions on the market. The SigTel Group team then worked alongside Toyota HQ Facility Manager to plan the installation. First, they tested all the antennas to determine the optimal position to gain the best outcome in boosting capacity. Then, during the first phase of the installation, the team of two installers focused on providing coverage in the office areas of the building. In one week, the building had coverage.
