From whole-home cell boosters to enterprise-grade Distributed Antenna Systems and Public Safety ERRCS — Mercury Communications engineers and installs the right solution for your building and your budget.
The right cellular solution depends entirely on your building size and application. Choose your path below.
Offices, medical facilities, schools, warehouses, hotels, government buildings, and military installations where carrier-grade indoor coverage is required on all three major networks. Mercury designs, installs, and commissions Passive, Hybrid, and Active DAS — with full carrier coordination included.
Poor cell signal at home, in your home office, barn, or small commercial space? Mercury's residential team installs certified weBoost, WilsonPRO, Cel-Fi, and SureCall boosters — eliminating dropped calls and slow data speeds on every carrier, every room.

Not sure where to start? These questions cover the most common decision points.
A residential cell booster is a consumer-grade amplifier for homes and small spaces up to about 7,500 sq ft — quick to install, no carrier coordination required. A commercial DAS is an engineered infrastructure system for buildings from 25,000 to 500,000+ sq ft, supporting all carriers simultaneously with carrier-grade performance. Commercial DAS requires an iBwave RF design, a Class A licensed contractor, and in some cases carrier coordination — all of which Mercury handles.
Homes and small offices under 10,000 sq ft: residential cell booster. Commercial buildings from 25,000–500,000 sq ft: Passive, Hybrid, or Active DAS depending on building characteristics and carrier requirements. Buildings also requiring first responder radio coverage: ERRCS / Public Safety DAS in addition to commercial DAS. When in doubt, contact Mercury for a no-cost site assessment — we'll recommend the right solution for your scope and budget.
