Wireless Infrastructure Group operates a strategically placed rooftop tower on the University of Warwick Library Building, delivering resilient multi-operator mobile connectivity across one of the UK’s leading academic campuses. Partially concealed within a Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) shroud, the installation integrates seamlessly with the building’s architecture while supporting critical 4G and 5G services for students, staff, visitors and the wider West Midlands region.
The University of Warwick Library Building presented a unique deployment challenge, requiring infrastructure that balanced technical performance with strict aesthetic considerations.
Key requirements included:
The site also needed to support increasing demand for mobile connectivity driven by digital learning, research activity and high-density campus usage.
WIG designed and delivered a rooftop installation comprising both screened and open-mounted infrastructure. The GRP screening houses the VMo2 and Vodafone installation, Airwave equipment and the BT/3UK equipment cabin. BT/3UK antennas are not enclosed within the GRP; instead, they are mounted on steelwork integrated into the parapet along the outer edge of the rooftop. The overall design avoids the use of a traditional “rooftop tower.” Instead, all antennas and associated steelwork are mounted on discrete structural frames, either within the GRP enclosure or positioned at the building perimeter, maintaining a low-profile and compliant aesthetic. The solution delivers both 4G and 5G mobile connectivity helping to provide reliable coverage and capacity for users across the site and within the area.
The University of Warwick Library telecoms tower installation delivers resilient, high-capacity mobile connectivity across one of the UK’s leading academic environments. Designed to enhance network coverage, signal strength and mobile performance, the solution supports seamless communication and digital access for students, staff, researchers and visitors.
Strategically positioned to support both local and regional demand, the site enhances mobile coverage along key transport corridors including the A45 and A46, while improving connectivity across Coventry, Kenilworth, and Leamington Spa. The installation helps strengthen digital infrastructure within a major economic, research and technology growth region.
By enabling multiple operators to utilise a single rooftop installation, WIG has reduced the need for duplicate infrastructure while minimising environmental and visual impact. The shared deployment model supports more efficient network expansion and future growth.
