Could ghosts put an end to checkout queue hell? Mobile signal solutions
As supermarkets push ahead with payment apps, self-service checkout tills, and scan-and-go tech, the need for good, uninterrupted connectivity has never been more important. When signal dies, transactions stall, mobile payments collapse, and digital tills lock up – it results in frustrating queues at the checkout.
But when and how do you rectify it? How do you correct an issue in a place that rarely shuts?
Prevention vs Cure: A tale of two projects
When it comes to mobile signal, timing is everything. Whether we’re designing it in from day one or retrofitting it under pressure, the approach you take shapes the entire experience — for project teams, building managers, and ultimately, the end user.
At Pan RF, we’ve delivered both. And the difference is striking.
The hidden cost of poor signal – what FM leaders are saying
Poor Signal? Mobile coverage is increasingly recognised as a critical part of building performance – but it still doesn’t always make the planning meeting. In fact, we heard from one facilities manager who told us they had to leave the meeting to use their phone, in a meeting about building performance…
Mobile Signal: Prevention or cure? How planning pays – but all is not lost if you don’t
Form and function must go hand in hand when designing and constructing buildings. But one element is consistently overlooked until long after the building is finished and occupied: mobile connectivity.
Modern materials and construction methods may excel at energy efficiency, but they also excel at blocking signal. It’s a challenge for architects, contractors and developers – and one that end-users won’t quietly accept.
At Pan RF, we serve clients at both ends of the spectrum. Because when it comes to mobile signal, there are really only two options: prevention or cure.

Case Study: Enhancing in-store mobile connectivity for a leading supermarket
One of the UK’s leading supermarket chains came to Pan RF with a problem that’s all too familiar – patchy mobile signal across its out-of-town stores. It was affecting everything from customer app use to internal communications.
Why private 5g networks are becoming the norm at supermarkets & data centres
In IT-heavy environments, the need has never been greater for ultra-fast, ultra-reliable, and highly secure mobile networks. That’s why supermarkets, warehouses and data centres are exploring Private 5G Networks as an innovative solution.
Ensure dependable mobile service connections with robust IT infrastructure.
The unseen risks of poor mobile service connectivity in IT-critical environments
For IT managers in retail stores, data centres, and large business complexes, mobile signal is not a “nice to have” – it is a “must have.” Without robust indoor signal, businesses face the risk of mission-critical interruptions.
Retailers can lose revenue when payment systems, inventory-control systems, and customer Wi-Fi go down. In data centres, weak signal can cause inefficiencies by disrupting real-time alerts and monitoring. Warehouses and logistics centres may experience costly delays due to inconsistent IoT tracking and unreliable communication systems.
In this issue of Insights & Perspectives, we examine why IT leaders can no longer afford to ignore in-building signal infrastructure and how the key to mitigating costly rip-and-replace expenditures for years to come is all in the planning.
Connectivity Is… peace of mind
Connectivity isn’t just about having a signal – it’s about certainty. Knowing that in high-stakes environments, communication won’t fail.
When signal fails: What is the business impact of poor connectivity?
In a world where mobile access underpins everything from customer engagement to emergency communication, poor connectivity is more than an inconvenience – it’s a financial and reputational risk. From retail to healthcare, businesses are losing revenue and efficiency due to inadequate in-building signal. In this edition of Insights & Perspectives, we explore the hidden costs of poor connectivity and why investment in infrastructure is no longer optional.
