Hi All
I have a small problem I need some assistance with. We recently expanded our building and built-on a whole new wing to the facility (at my workplace). Since then most of our staff have been experiencing quite bad cellular reception. To my knowledge only Vodacom and MTN are effected - with MTN being the worst.
Two questions: Is it possible to have a multi-carrier micro-cell installed? If so, by whom? (As I am aware it is banned by ICASA for the public to interact on the SP frequency bands). If not, how does one go about getting the likes of Vodacom and MTN to install a micro-cell here. Does anyone perhaps have a contact I could deal with at each SP? (instead of going down the very lengthy call-center route). I presume we would then need two micro-cells - one for each SP?
How does the process work? I am assuming I would need to prove expenditure and viability to them, for them to consider the installation? Is there some minimum amount to meet before they would consider it? Our building is located in a relatively large office park in Century City, so my feeling is they would be inclined to proceed with the installation.
Any advice for speeding up the application and process?
Thanks guys.
