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.

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 serve clients at both ends of the spectrum. Because when it comes to mobile signal, there are really only two options: prevention or cure.
