Internet connectivity has been an under-talked issue in commercial and retail real estate.
Especially after people enjoyed uninterrupted internet and cellular connections working remotely. Businesses are now calling people back to the office.
But the lack of a cellular network in those concrete blocks and WiFi being the primary connectivity medium is ruining the experience. In this article, we’ll discuss the benefits of DAS installation for employees in retail and commercial real estate.
Employee Benefits of In-Building DAS in Commercial Buildings
Internet connection has almost become a necessity. Can you recall the time when you saw anyone without their phones?
Anywhere you go, people are just glued to their phones. For transactions, conversations, entertainment, socializing, etc. Buildings that don’t offer connectivity hinder this experience.
But most importantly, it can reduce employee performance.
Here are 5 benefits employees get when they have uninterrupted internet access at any spot in the building.
Better Workflow
Do you really want your employee efficiency to go down because of slow internet?
Poor WiFi internet can be super distracting. That can take away focus from a task and take more time to get it done.
When the internet isn’t an issue employees won’t have dead pages, dropped voice calls, and even dropped customer calls. That will significantly benefit the business.
More Comfort and Freedom
Work practices have evolved. You can’t expect an employee to stay glued to their seat for 8 hours straight.
Many people love roaming around when calling or sit on the bean bags in the corner for more focus. This unfortunately is often impossible with WiFis because connectivity is affected by your distance from the routers.
And your calls and connections die down when you are in the dead zone.
This problem evaporates when you have DAS powering your indoor business spaces.
Better Collaboration
Companies are still following a hybrid work model.
When the internet is super-fast, office workers can easily collaborate with remote employees and clients without worrying about disconnectivity.
Also, it bodes well for real-time collaborations and adds to improved workflow.
Reduced Stress
There are some priority tasks where employees can’t lose internet.
If they fear disconnectivity, there’s always stress looming over their heads. Imagine a seller doing a $100,000 deal and the experience is ruined because WiFi decided to act up that day.
With wireless DAS connectivity, you can expect seamless connectivity literally at all times!
Plus, the employees stay connected via cellular networks as well. So they are always accessible via calls, and messages. This also brings so much peace to minds.
Better Customer Servicing
Better internet connection results in seamless communication and faster response time with customers.
You can instantly gain cookie points once your customers can clearly communicate with you about their problems and you respond to them on time.
The best businesses care for their customers. And if you have an office in a commercial building that’s DAS-powered, you’re sure to offer better customer communication.
Bonus Point for Realtors and Owners – DAS-powered properties are more valued than buildings that have connectivity issues. You can get better rent and property deals just with the fact that signals don’t go missing in those buildings.
Wrapping Up
The need for seamless connectivity at all times is here to stay. And grow.
Businesses that understand this and take early measures will reap success in the future.
And one simple way to see positive figures on the profit sheets is to give uninterrupted internet access to your employees.
