The problem
Great Outdoor Coverage Stops at the Front Door
Concrete, glass and steel block mobile signals. The result is dropped calls, slow data and dead zones in exactly the places people need to stay connected: offices, hospitals, airports, malls and high-rise towers. With 5G using higher frequencies, the indoor gap is growing. The fix is a well-designed in-building network, and the design is where most projects succeed or fail.
Our In-Building Design Services
End-to-end indoor wireless design, from the first site survey to the final approved package.
IBS RF Design
Complete indoor RF designs in iBwave, with coverage, capacity and interference predicted before deployment.
DAS Design
Active, passive and hybrid Distributed Antenna System designs, including neutral-host and multi-operator DAS.
Small Cell Design
Small cell layouts that add targeted capacity in high-traffic areas without over-engineering the network.
Private LTE and 5G Design
Dedicated private networks for enterprises, campuses, factories and industrial sites.
Walk Test and Analysis
Pre-design and post-installation walk tests with TEMS, Nemo or XCAL to measure real signal levels.
Design Validation
Independent review of existing or third-party designs for accuracy, compliance and cost.

Why ProdSquads for IBS
Why Teams Choose ProdSquads for In-Building Design
Certified iBwave Engineers
Designs built by iBwave-certified engineers, with accurate coverage and capacity predictions that cut rework on site.
Faster Design Turnaround
Standardised workflows and templates take projects from survey to approved design in less time.
Lower Deployment Costs
Optimised antenna placement, cable routing and SISO/MIMO combinations reduce equipment and material spend without missing performance targets.
Multi-Operator, Multi-Technology
Designs for 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, 5G NR, private LTE and private 5G, including RAN sharing and neutral-host DAS.
Vendor-Neutral Recommendations
We select the best-fit solution across leading equipment vendors based on your requirements, not on commissions.
First-Time Approval
Designs reviewed against operator standards and quality-checked before submission, for a high first-time approval rate.
Digital Twin Visualisation (optional)
3D building models and coverage maps that help stakeholders see the network before it is built.
Expert Consulting (optional)
Feasibility studies, technical due diligence, network modernisation and IBS strategy roadmaps.
Our process
A Proven Path from Survey to Sign-Off
Discover
We collect floor plans, identify coverage zones and priority areas, survey the site, check existing infrastructure and measure current signal levels with a pre-walk test.
Design
We model the building in iBwave, place antennas and route cables, and simulate coverage, capacity, interference and throughput for every technology in scope.
Deliver
We validate and optimise the design, then hand over a complete, operator-ready design package, with post-installation walk tests and as-built support.

What we need to start
What We Need to Start Your IBS Design.
A short checklist gets your project moving fast. We’ll guide you through anything you don’t have yet.
- Floor plans: the latest AutoCAD layouts for every floor.
- Coverage areas: the zones that need coverage, priority areas such as VIP rooms, server rooms and food courts, and expected user numbers.
- Existing infrastructure: any current DAS, cable trays, risers and equipment rooms.
- Building materials: wall and partition types, since glass, concrete and steel affect signal.
- Equipment and cable routes: possible antenna locations, the main equipment room, and access to risers and ceilings.
- Fibre and backhaul: existing fibre connectivity or provisioning needs.
- Access and permissions: restricted areas and building-management timelines.
- Power and cooling: power, cooling and fire-safety requirements for equipment.
- Site details: building names and coordinates.
Sustainability
Designed to Use Less Power and Less Hardware.
Good design is sustainable design. Every network we plan is built to do more with less.
- Fewer active components through hybrid and passive combinations
- Optimised layouts that avoid over-engineering
- Reuse of existing infrastructure wherever possible
- Lower power consumption and operating costs
- RAN sharing, so operators share one network instead of building several
