Café Marrese

Sweeter Signal in a Chic Café in Texas.

THE PROBLEM

With the increase in customers & clients comes the demand for strong cellular signal for work & play. However inside the café & its adjacent venues, one featuring a Conference Room that holds 75 people, getting reliable cell signal was next to impossible.

Café Marrese needed better inside signal for all carriers (especially AT&T) to make outgoing and receive incoming calls along with a reliable connection to send emails during those long business conferences.

That’s when they contacted Wilson Amplifiers.

THE SOLUTION

Wilson Amplifiers sent their in-house install team known as Install Pro Team to do a pre-install checkup and signal reading. In total, the café & its event rooms measured around 3,500 sq ft. The team recommended the Wilson Pro 70 signal booster with potential coverage ranging from 10,000 sq ft to 17,500 sq ft. This was recommended due to the extreme distance of the cell tower, therefore a pro-grade model was needed to ensure consistent coverage and stronger signal.

Once everything was explained in terms of layout, expectations, and then approved by Allen & Leona, the Install Pro Team quickly went to work. The Outside Antenna was installed in an area where it could capture the best signal for AT&T. Two Inside Antennas were used to rebroadcast the boosted signal to the Conference Room & café dining area. The Install Pro Team deftly ran cable to and from the amplifier and was sight unseen, thereby, keeping the aesthetic of Café Marrese while giving it the signal it needed.

THE RESULTS

With the improved signal, customers are able to be more productive and satisfied, thereby increasing Café Marrese's customer retention and purchasing potential. Across the board for AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and other carriers, signal improved by 2-3 bars. AT&T went from -93 dB to -57 dB for an astonishing +36 dB of gain or 3,981% energy size increase! Or in "bar-speak" from zero bars to 3-4 bars.
