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.
