The Leadenhall Building, nicknamed ‘The Cheesegrater’, stands tall at 224m in the heart of London’s financial district. The commercial skyscraper offers over 600,000 sq. ft of workspace across 45 floors, combining office and communal areas for a vibrant, productive working environment.
The challenge
The building’s complex design and modern construction materials created significant mobile signal challenges, particularly on higher floors. Some areas of the building had no mobile coverage, leading to poor call quality and frequent dropped calls. In partnership with British Land, we were tasked with ensuring that all tenants, clients and visitors had access to consistent, high-quality mobile services.
Bespoke connectivity solution
Our talented team of solutions experts, leveraging WIG’s 15 years’ experience, undertook an extensive technical design process in close collaboration with British Land’s technical team and the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). To address the building’s unique characteristics and meet British Land’s requirements, a bespoke Distributed Antenna Solution (DAS) was selected from WIG’s broad portfolio of solutions. This tailored solution effectively overcomes the building’s mobile connectivity challenges.

Key benefits and outcomes
The project successfully delivered reliable mobile connectivity across all 45 floors of The Leadenhall Building, significantly enhancing productivity and user experience. This achievement helped the building secure Platinum WiredScore Certification for its outstanding connectivity infrastructure.
Dropped calls eliminated
Users no longer experience dropped calls throughout the building, reducing frustration. The reliable mobile services have enhanced productivity by enabling effective communication and creating a more efficient work environment.
User satisfaction increased
Higher satisfaction across users has improved employee morale and retention rates, while also enhancing the building’s reputation. As a result, the Leadenhall Building is a desirable property and retains its grade A status.
5G & future-ready
By implementing an innovative solution that is designed for next-generation technologies, the Leadenhall Building now maintains a competitive advantage with cutting-edge connectivity.
‘Always-on’ customer support
We provide the Leadenhall Building with real-time network monitoring and maintenance ensuring optimal mobile connectivity all day, every day.
The design and construction of The Leadenhall Building has always been leading edge and we needed to ensure that our in-building mobile solution was equally innovative and market leading. We needed a partner that could provide a single, dedicated solution for comprehensive coverage on a multi-operator, multi-technology basis throughout the building. WIG was our first choice when it came to delivering that solution for the building. Our tenants now have access to the fastest and highest quality mobile services right across our building.”
