Industry-Specific Challenges
Throughout the country—at the local, county, state, and federal levels—government seats are housed in buildings and complexes that were often built well before the advent of mobile devices. Even more modern constructions tend toward large, elaborate buildings with reinforced security walls and doors that can swallow up cell phone signals in government buildings, making connections spotty or even nonexistent. Basements, subterranean levels, and secure zones all add to the unique challenge of government connectivity.
Communication is crucial throughout all branches and agencies of government. Officials need to stay in touch with each other, their aides, and constituents. They must remain up to date on breaking news and sudden policy changes. If a local or global emergency breaks while a governing body is in session, civil servants have to be able to get the facts and respond quickly—not look around for a window or entrance where they can get a signal. Continuity of government cannot break down because of technological shortcomings.
Government buildings tend to host visitors for a variety of purposes, from tours and court proceedings to paperwork filing and fee payment. Some of these tasks can take hours—so cutting off all connection with the outside world simply isn’t feasible.
Emergency services need to be considered as well. All building occupants must be able to reach out for help if needed, and emergency personnel need to communicate once they get inside. A communication solution needs to accommodate a variety of different devices, including government-issued devices, personal cell phones, emergency mobile devices, and cellular-based radios.
Take all these concerns and spread them out across multi-building government complexes, and you’re looking at a communication challenge that few private sector industries need to worry about.

Case Studies
With SureCall’s experience providing services to enterprise clients, we can back up the efficacy of our cell signal boosters for large buildings.
Take our work at the 2024 NCAA Men’s Final Four at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ, as a case in point. The concrete-and-rebar stadium can fit 64,000 fans—that’s over twice the number of people who work at the Pentagon. The combination of the building materials and the sheer number of mobile devices could make popular events like this feel daunting without the right equipment in place.
SureCall stepped in with a custom solution that dramatically increased coverage, significantly improved data speeds, and plugged gaps, ensuring clear, continuous connectivity.
