WiredScore certifications enable landlords to achieve higher rents and building valuations. The certification shows that buildings meet the highest IT connectivity standards, now and into the future, to ensure reliable and stable high speed connectivity across both wifi and mobile networks for its residents.
It also grades the building’s overall infrastructure’s ability to easily complete future upgrade work on cabling for networks. It takes into consideration backup networks and resilience of the network to 3rd party interference, such as external building works. Mobile Signal Solutions have WiredScore AP‘s ready to help you.
Platinum, Gold , Silver and Wiredscore approved ratings are available and a mobile signal booster system can help achieve the highest Gold and Platinum ratings as well as help ensure satisfied long term tenants.
Overall there are 105 points available for WiredScore certifications. Connectivity is the most important with 50 points assigned to it, and mobile signal is key to achieving this score. The other criteria focus on Infrastructure, readiness and innovation. Mobile connectivity can add 9 point to your overall score and is a minimum requirement for platinum, whilst gold has a minimum requirement for a mobile signal RF report outlining any issues and setting out a plan of action to overcome poor mobile signal and be viable to be wiredscore certified by an engineer
The minimum requirement for mobile signal performance is platinum level in regard to the A5 Connectivity criteria point, no other level is accepted and will result in a failure. Connectivity criteria point A1 can be awarded a Gold or Silver status. All 7 Connectivity criteria go towards your WiredScore certifications and Mobile Signal Boosters will help improve your score for 5 out of the 7 criteria, in order to gain the maximum 50 points for connectivity.
High quality mobile signal helps to improve the score for multiple criteria from A1 to A7. The below sections outline the areas where 3G, 4G and 5G signal boosters help your building to score the highest points possible.
Feature 1 Performance understood which has a value of 1 Credit, here a RF Survey or Mobile assessment report is required to evaluating the mobile performance (data quality) in the building. This is also a minimum requirement for Gold.
Feature 2 Baseline performance which has a value of 6 Credits. This insures that tenants and landlord areas have access to verified acceptable performance & coverage for 1 mobile operator. Demonstrated via an RF survey, a Mobile Assessment or the presence of an in-building mobile solution. MSS Wiredscore certified engineers can do both the RF survey and design of the system as part of the stages to become Wiredscore certified. This is also a minimum requirement for Platinum.
Feature 3 Acceptable performance which has a value of 4 Credits. Here tenants and visitors to the building have access to verified acceptable performance & coverage for 2 mobile operators. Demonstrated via an RF survey, a Mobile Assessment or the presence of an in-building mobile solution.
Feature 4 Good performance this has a reduced value of 4 Credits. Here the tenants have access to verified good performance & coverage for 1 mobile operator and a MSS engineer can prepare the report after a site visit and WiredScore cellular survey.

Results of a mobile assessment (e.g. WiredScore)
The signal for a mobile signal booster comes in from the roof and is at less risk to disruption from external third parties such as construction, roadworks and work on walkways in public areas directly outside the building. The signal boosters DAS has multiple voice and data access points that can be accessed by client devices should their main wifi go down, this gives additional diversity to connectivity for tenants.
The addition of a mobile repeater system will add 4 more high speed data options over any of the four main mobile operators. Clients will have access to connectivity from Vodafone, EE, Three and o2 network. These also allow the client to have choice.
The addition of 4 mobile broadband networks as well as access to all 60 virtual resellers will highlight the landlords ability to provide multiple high quality services providers for tenants to choose from, allowing tenants access to competitive offerings otherwise not available without a signal booster in place
This criteria measures the signal quality. The RSRP signal will vary from -40, which is excellent, to -120, which is unusable. The score range required by WiredScore for mobile performance can be seen in the table below. The minimum RSRP to meet the platinum standard is 95dBm. There are no silver or gold awards in this category.
Note: These ranges are subject to change, always check with an MSS engineer for the most up to date levels required.
Having high quality mobile phone signals in the building will also work as a fallback for clients or tenants should the wifi network go down at any stage. This is taken into account by WiredScore, which will also assess data speed. For this reason the RSRQ and SINR, as well as the signal bars displaying on devices, are important factors.
SINR (Signal to noise ratio) is a key determinant of the speed and quality of mobile signal. WiredScore assess and require your building to have strong SINR scores, as this is crucial for customer satisfaction. Upload and download speeds, along with the mobile networks ability to act as a backup for the wi-fi should it go down is important.
As part of WiredScore’s assessment, the common areas of the building will be assessed to determine if the general public can continue to be connected to mobile and laptop devices. The handover from available outdoor signal to an indoor network is key, traditionally this has been a free access wifi network. By delivering a high speed all networks solution you can give clients access to a public network in all shared areas in the building, that meet the criteria for both wifi and mobile network options. By overlapping the two, coverage across the entire area should be 100% and ensure higher platinum Wiredscore standards are achieved.
The system must be secure, safe, free of charge and accessible to all. Mobile networks across 4G and upwards will meet this criteria once installed to the Wiredscore standards.
Of the 7 WiredScore connectivity criteria, a Mobile Signal Booster system is essential for scoring highly in 5 of them.
A1 – Connectivity Options
A2 – Connectivity Diversity
A4 – Planned Connectivity Options
A5 – Mobile Signal Performance
A7 – Public Connectivity wifi / mobile
The overall score available for connectivity is 50 points, a signal booster will help to attain over 70% of these and directly contributes 9 of these. The other criteria to consider is infrastructure and process based. Riser access and accessibility across the building are key to passing these other criteria.
Mobile Signal Solutions boosters will help the building to qualify within the 5 criteria mentioned above and can help to elevate your score towards Platinum, Gold or Silver status.
