Connectivity really embodies what we’re about and we’re about connecting everyone, everywhere.” says Bruce Lancaster, CEO of Wilson Connectivity.
From Wilson Electronics to Wilson Connectivity: A Broader Vision
Wilson Connectivity has evolved from a consumer-focused booster company into a full-scale enterprise connectivity provider. Today, its solutions range from:
- Enterprise repeaters and bi-directional amplifiers
- Fiber optic DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems)
- Private 5G networks for hospitals, factories, airports, and retail
“We provide solutions from the smallest jewellery store to the largest multi-story office building or factory,” Lancaster explained.
Bringing Connectivity to Every Space
- Retail & Safety Applications: Tiffany’s stores across the U.S. use Wilson’s solutions to ensure strong cellular connectivity for shoppers. Grocery stores rely on it for loyalty programs and mobile payments, while walk-in freezers in convenience stores integrate connectivity for employee safety.
- Industrial & Enterprise Needs: Factories are adopting autonomous forklifts and robotic material handling, requiring low-latency private 5G networks. Mining operations and remote locations also depend on Wilson’s fiber DAS solutions for high-bandwidth communication.
- Transportation & Airports: Airports lack nearby cell towers, making in-building fiber optic DAS essential for passenger connectivity, two-way radio communications, and private networks. Ride-sharing and EV charging stations also depend on strong indoor coverage.
The Future of Connectivity: Blending Terrestrial & Satellite Networks
With AI, automation, and data demands growing, Lancaster foresees hybrid terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks playing a key role. Starlink and satellite failovers will complement existing ground infrastructure to ensure reliable, high-speed global connectivity.
