Cellular Repeaters: Improve Mobile Signal with Onwave and Nextivity

Struggling with poor mobile coverage at your utility sites or remote facilities? Onwave provides high-performance cellular repeater solutions using trusted technology from Nextivity, helping you to stay connected — reliably, legally, and cost-effectively.

What is a Cellular Repeater?

A cellular repeater, also known as a mobile signal booster, enhances weak mobile signals in locations where coverage is poor or non-existent. It captures the existing signal from a nearby cell tower, amplifies it and rebroadcasts it inside your building, cabin, or site — delivering consistent voice and data performance to keep your teams connected.

Why Water & Utilities Organisations Need Signal Boosters

Remote pumping stations, treatment plants, substations and rural depots often suffer from weak or inconsistent mobile signal. This leads to:

  • Missed communications between teams
  • Inability to access cloud-based data or asset monitoring tools
  • Delays in reporting, safety checks, or real-time decision-making
  • Inefficient and slow incident response

Onwave’s cellular repeater solutions ensure strong mobile signal where you need it most — supporting critical infrastructure and operational continuity.

Benefits of Cellular Repeaters from Onwave

  • Reliable Coverage in Remote Areas

    Nextivity boosters enhance 3G, 4G, and 5G mobile signals even in challenging environments — ensuring field teams, SCADA systems and IoT devices remain online and operational.

  • Fast, Non-Invasive Installation

    Ideal for temporary or fixed installations at offices, depots, water treatment plants, remote pumping stations or emergency response vehicles. Rapidly deployable and scalable with minimal disruption.

  • Ofcom-Compliant and Carrier Approved
