Designed for every phase of the build — from groundbreaking to project close

Construction sites don't slow down when connectivity falls short. Crews are on site, inspections are scheduled, and decisions still need to be made, often from locations where running cable isn't an option. When teams can't reach the systems they count on, coordination breaks down, work stalls, and projects get pushed.

The pressures are already stacked: material costs up, skilled trades harder to backfill, and tighter margins on every project. Digital tools, from project management platforms to permit tracking and safety reporting, have become part of how the work gets done. That only works when the network does.

Ericsson delivers rugged, flexible 5G connectivity built for construction environments. Our solutions keep equipment, teams, and data connected across temporary, remote, and demanding job sites, whether you're setting up a trailer on day one or maintaining coverage across a multi-phase build.

"Standing up" doesn't sound right here.

Internal applications, connected on site

Construction doesn’t stop when the network goes down, but productivity does. Foremen wait on updated drawings, inspectors can’t pull approvals, and questions that should take minutes turn into phone calls and site walks. When site leaders have consistent access to project information, crews stay moving, subcontractors stay aligned, and small field issues get resolved immediately instead of resurfacing later as delays, rework, or change orders.

Job site IoT devices rely on strong, consistent coverage

Security cameras, badge scanners, and site access tools depend on reliable connectivity to function without interruption. When coverage drops, it creates blind spots in surveillance, delays in access, and gaps in site visibility, putting safety, productivity, and accountability at risk.

Ericsson's wireless WAN portfolio is purpose-built to meet the evolving needs of construction environments, solving these connectivity and coverage gaps with secure, reliable, and agile solutions that help crews be productive from day one.

Built to support the job from start to finish

Instant activation

IT teams can preconfigure devices in Ericsson NetCloud Manager before they ship to the site. When a router arrives, any crew member can plug it in and get to work. No IT staff required on the ground, and no waiting for an installer.

Weather proof

Reliable performance across rugged, weather-exposed environments. Built to endure heat, dust, and extreme weather with ruggedized hardware that won’t quit.

Centralized management for all devices anywhere

Ericsson NetCloud simplifies deployment, monitoring, and security across job sites, giving lean IT teams full visibility and control. It also frees up site managers to focus on the build, not the burden of troubleshooting connectivity and devices.

Coffrages Synergy connects high-rise job sites from day one.

High-rise construction creates a connectivity problem that cabling can't easily solve: the building is still going up. Coffrages Synergy, a Montreal-based contractor, needed project teams to stay connected across multiple floors before the building had permanent infrastructure in place.

By equipping portable offices with cellular routers, they gave crews immediate access to cloud-based project tools, digital plans, and site documentation from day one, without the cost or lead time of a wired install. The connection moved with the build.

Digital transformation of construction

From pop-up field offices and mobile truck offices to site security and surveillance, modern construction sites need reliable, flexible networking from day one. Ericsson wireless solutions deliver rugged LTE/5G connectivity and edge capabilities that support smarter, faster, safer builds.

Temporary field offices and trailers

Portable routers deploy in minutes and deliver high-performance WAN connectivity for project teams and subcontractors on any site. No trenching, no digging, no waiting on an ISP install window.

Business continuity and failover

Unplanned outages are expensive. Cellular links and SD-WAN intelligence maintain WAN connectivity around the clock, so work continues even when a primary connection goes down.

Connected job site devices

Smart sensors, security cameras, and badge scanners scale to cover even the largest and most remote work zones, including areas where permanent cabling isn't practical.

Site security and worker safety

Surveillance cameras, connected wearables, lone-worker sensors, and real-time location tools all require a reliable network underneath them. Ericsson routers provide consistent, low-latency connectivity for safety systems and site security alike, including cameras that monitor site access and deter theft across open, high-traffic work zones.

Site-to-site coordination

5G routers connect job sites, trailers, and headquarters so teams can share files, access security feeds, and stay aligned across locations without patching together workarounds.
