With LongFi Connect, employees are connected the moment they walk in.
One of the largest construction firms in the United States, on the Cisco network already in place.Its people move between offices through the day. Now their phones stay connected the moment they step inside, with no new hardware and no added cost.
It has been working flawlessly. There have been no complaints, and people said their connection overall is better.BrianNetwork Engineer at a national construction firm
Strong Wi-Fi, but still no indoor cell signal.
The offices had strong wireless, and indoor cellular still fell short, so the older fixes each came up short.
Dead zones indoors
Strong Wi-Fi, and still weak cell coverage in the same rooms.
Logins that expired
Guest portal credentials lapsed on a 30 to 60 day cycle, and again at each site.
A fix that was too big
The distributed antenna system quote came back oversized and overpriced.
Four groups to serve
Home-base staff, travelers between offices, visitors, and contractors.
LongFi Connect: a simple improvement that uses the offices' existing Wi-Fi to fix indoor cell coverage.
It went on as a Passpoint configuration on the existing Cisco access points, so phones connect on their SIM and coverage scales office to office.
- Connects on the SIM. Phones attach on carrier credentials, with no password, no portal, and no app.
- No new hardware. A configuration on the Cisco network already in operation, not a construction project.
- Coverage by area. Access points are grouped by area, so specific floors are included or left out.
- Secure by design. Carrier SIM authentication and encryption, on a dedicated lane apart from business systems.
- No added cost. Runs on the network in place, and the operator can disable it at any time.
Connectivity that follows people through the building.
Walk from one end of the office to the other and stay on the same call.
Phones attach the moment someone enters, before they reach a desk.
Visitors and travelers connect without a guest portal, at any office.
What the client is seeing.
- Connected on walk-in. Phones attach the moment someone enters, with nothing to tap.
- No complaints reported. No portal logins to chase, and a connection people describe as better.
- New recurring value. That same carrier traffic can also return a monthly revenue stream.
What their own security team confirmed.
These are findings from the security review the client's own I.T. team completed before going live.
Carrier SIM authentication and encryption, not shared passwords.
The LongFi Connect lane rides a dedicated VLAN, apart from business systems.
Devices are anonymous, with no phone numbers, SIM keys, or identities.
Questions about a specific user go to the carrier, not the venue.
On or off at any time, under the venue's own content and security policies.
LongFi engineers help configure and activate the network, then monitor the connection.
Keep your team connected across your offices.
LongFi Connect suits multi-site operators on Cisco, Meraki, Aruba, or comparable Wi-Fi. A short conversation is enough to see the fit.
Works with business-grade Wi-Fi and supports major mobile carriers.
