A leading US bank has discovered that energy-efficient windows in its newer buildings are blocking mobile phone signals.
Bank of America now faces paying premium access charges to wireless carriers to enhance indoor mobile phone signals, according to its senior vice president for strategic planning and technical architecture, Eileen Bridges. She was speaking at Mobile & Wireless Enterprise 2008.
With more than 15 buildings in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the bank has its headquarters, the three buildings designated as "green" are the ones where the signal problem has been detected, Bridges said. Posted in:
