The National Gallery Extends Mobile Coverage Across Public Spaces

19th March 2026

After successfully delivering multi-operator connectivity at One Gallery Hub, Shared Access has expanded mobile coverage into newly refurbished public areas at The National Gallery.

As part of a major upgrade programme – including the Sainsbury Wing, Pigott Theatre and Rodin Centre for Creative Learning – the Gallery needed guaranteed, high-quality mobile coverage in areas where Grade-1 listed architecture and contemporary building materials severely restrict external signal.

By extending the existing Distributed Antenna System and connecting via its innovative off-site Base Station Hotel (BTS Hotel), Shared Access delivered seamless, future-ready mobile connectivity for staff and visitors alike.

Visitors now benefit from reliable signal for ticketing, wayfinding, accessibility tools and sharing their experience – enhancing safety, engagement and the overall visitor journey.

Installation of Wi-Fi 6 at Berthon Marina, Lymington.

During the busy season, Berthon Marina has up to 250 boats in residence, all with multiple devices connecting to the marina’s Wi-Fi. This was creating a heavily congested network environment and a poor end user experience. Connection speeds were grinding to a halt, with berth holders and visitors frequently being disconnected or simply unable to connect. Card payments for fuel or food and beverage became impossible to process with all the associated customer frustrations and commercial impact.

Tunnels are historically tough locations to get a phone signal. Traditional masts provide coverage outdoors to locations that can be seen – tunnels by their nature are underground, compact and often have lots of twists and turns that all stop existing outdoor signals from penetrating inside.

The Tyne Tunnel is no different. Originally opened in 1967, the seven miles of tunnels connect the town of Jarrow with North Shields and Howden. The traffic that passes through the tunnel allows vehicles both a way in and out of Newcastle. Over 40,000 vehicles travel through the Tyne Tunnel every day – that’s over 14,000,000 vehicles a year.
