The biggest problems with network expansion: expensive locations, tight budgets, difficult permitting processes
As a general contractor in mobile network infrastructure, you see every day that demand for new sites is constantly growing. Network operators need to expand their 5G networks nationwide—and as quickly as possible. For you, this means plenty of proposals – and consequently a good chance to win multiple contracts. But now you’re facing two major challenges:
Declining budgets
Due to competition and the elimination of roaming charges, mobile carriers are losing a significant amount of revenue. They’re trying to offset this loss by drastically reducing costs per project.
Complicated site search
Residents, property management companies, and municipalities frequently oppose visible antenna installations. Objections, lengthy permitting processes, and plan revisions delay projects and drive costs even higher.

For you as a general contractor, this means:
You need locations that can be approved quickly and without obstacles, but that can also be implemented on a minimal budget.
In practice, this is almost impossible. Low-cost construction options are usually visible and meet with resistance, while unobtrusive or architecturally integrated systems significantly increase costs.
The result: Projects fail because of permitting issues or because they’re not economically viable.
How you can win more bids and implement projects
01
Installations need to blend in unobtrusively with their surroundings so that municipalities and residents do not raise objections and permits can be issued more quickly.
02
You will win bids and secure follow-up contracts in the long term if your projects are economically viable.
03
Installation, structural analysis, and maintenance must not cause additional costs, so projects can be planned and completed on schedule.
If all these criteria are met, the expansion of mobile communications will not only be economically viable but also socially acceptable.
- With inSPIRE, SIMEX has created a system that meets all of these requirements.
With inSPIRE, mobile phone sites are more cost-effective and approved more easily
The inSPIRE system which we developed is an approach to cladding for cellular antennas that allows you to …
Integrated advertising space for refinancing
The inSPIRE surface can be used or leased out as advertising space. This provides an opportunity for regular additional income.
Flexible installation for new and existing systems
inSPIRE is compatible with standard antenna types and mounting structures, making it suitable for installation in both new buildings and existing facilities.
Sustainable lightweight structures
inSPIRE is made of lightweight materials that are weather-resistant and fully recyclable. Because of their light weight, the structures are easier to transport and assemble, which simplifies the installation process.
The result:
Unobtrusive integration of the installations increases acceptance by municipalities and residents. As a result, permits are issued more quickly. The sites can become operational sooner and start generating revenue, which reduces overall costs and accelerates amortisation. In addition, the advertising spaces provide an additional source of revenue throughout the project’s entire lifespan.

About SIMEX: Technology that builds acceptance for mobile network expansion
The development of inSPIRE began with a simple observation:
Many mobile communications projects fail not because of technical issues, but because of a lack of acceptance.
Time and again, new sites are rejected, even though expansion is urgently needed. This is where SIMEX comes in – with the goal of developing a solution that is technically reliable, economically viable, and visually integrated.
The result is inSPIRE: the first and only patented cladding system of its kind.
In use for more than 12 years and installed at more than 100 locations, it undergoes continuous development and technical assessment. Each system is manufactured from certified materials and comes with a 5-year warranty.
Behind inSPIRE is an interdisciplinary team of engineers, designers, and project managers. Our experts guide every project from planning to installation.
Our mission statement:
We develop technical products that are functionally well-designed, economically sound, and resource-efficient.
In doing so, we focus on materials that are durable and can partially replace steel structures.
Our work is based on engineering expertise, experience, and a commitment to improving what already exists. We don’t believe in constantly reinventing the wheel. Instead, we believe in precise refinement that makes mobile network expansion simpler and more sustainable.
Development in Switzerland for projects throughout Europe
SIMEXgroup is headquartered in the Appenzell region, where development and design take place. Production is carried out at certified partner facilities in France and Germany.
Projects are also being implemented across Europe. Coordination and project management are conducted
digitally via Microsoft Teams.
Frequently asked questions about network expansion with inSPIRE
inSPIRE is a radiotransparent, lightweight cladding made of PVC and steel brackets. It is designed in accordance with DIN EN 13706 and in accordance with the principles of EN 1990 (Eurocode 0) for safety and reliability. Thanks to its radiotransparency, the signal quality of the antennas is not affected. The surface can also be used or leased as advertising space.
Unlike conventional GRP panels, the system is significantly lighter, radiotransparent, and cost-effective. The modular design simplifies transport and installation, so the system can usually be installed quickly and with minimal effort. In addition, all modules are recyclable, which improves its environmental footprint.
No. The materials are specifically designed for mobile communications applications and are radiotransparent – they allow radio waves to pass through unimpeded. This has been tested in the laboratory under real-world conditions and verified by measurement.
Installation takes just a few steps:
- inSPIRE is mounted on site directly on the existing mast or substructure.
- Once installed, the system is ready for use immediately.
For new construction, the system can be incorporated directly into the plans. For existing locations, a retrofit can usually be completed within a day.
Yes. The system has a modular design and can be retrofitted at nearly all existing cellular sites. It is compatible with common antenna types and support structures, whether on roofs, towers, or freestanding structures. The only requirement is that the existing substructure be able to withstand the additional load. This should be clarified as part of the project’s structural analysis.
The coverings can be produced in various colours (View colors here). Additionally, lighting concepts can be integrated to adapt to the appearance to the surroundings or urban planning. An advertising print is also an option. This transforms the installation into a commercially viable advertising medium.
Thanks to its understated design and its ability to visually integrate the installation (e.g., through colour selection or lighting design), the system is not perceived as a disturbance. Objections during the permitting process decrease significantly because the system has a neutral impact on the urban landscape and blends harmoniously into its surroundings. In many cases, municipalities comment positively on inSPIRE because the system integrates well into the surroundings.
The inSPIRE membrane can be opened using an integrated zipper. This gives technicians direct access to the antennas without having to remove the cladding. This reduces maintenance time and significantly simplifies maintenance work. In addition, the system is equipped with an integrated bird guard that prevents damage and disfiguration.
Every system is tested and documented. SIMEX provides a 5-year warranty on materials and workmanship.
Once an order is received, the production time is typically 4 to 5 weeks. SIMEX then coordinates the delivery and – if necessary – coordination with the local installation companies. Thanks to modular manufacturing, multiple locations can be supplied simultaneously.
- Lower construction costs thanks to simple installation without heavy equipment
- Lower risk of delays due to faster approval
- Better chances of winning bids, since projects are more cost-effective and more readily accepted
- Greater planning reliability thanks to verified structural analysis and short delivery times
This makes it possible for projects to be more profitable and implemented more quickly.
