WiFi Hotspot, my clients query.

[tomwalsh]

I have a client who has asked me the below query about EE wifi and I do not know the answer and I am hoping you can help with that and what band its broadcasting live on.

From my client

"There is a wifi called EE Wifi that is being advertised but not on all of the antennas

Can u have a look please?"

Thanks

Background

 I have looked up the wifi hotspots system and I can see it's only live on some locations https://ee-wifi.ee.co.uk/public/ee/find/index.htm 

The client and our booster system is in Wolverhampton WV10, Fallings park area.

The mobile  booster company I work for installed a mobile signal booster 18 months ago, it's a Ofcom approved legal unit and simple re-broadcasts what's outside giving full indoor EE coverage, all antenna are sent the same signal from the amplifier, if it helps here is all the details about the actual  multiboost signal booster and it is broadcast EE on 2 channels 2010MHz and 1800MHz, actual frequencies below

1831.7 - 1876.7

1736.7 - 1781.7

and 

2149.7 - 2169.7

1959.7 - 1979.7

Does anyone know 

1. a) What frequency band EE wifi hotspots are on?
2. b) Why when the client is under some antennas he can see EE wifi on his handset at some antenna and not on others, considering all antenna are fed the same  signal from the mobile booster and all give good mobile phone coverage in general, but for some reason only some show wifi available, it is the IT managers handset, so it is the same handset under each antenna.

It's possible the wifi showing up under some antenna is not related to the booster itself, but without the booster the building has no signal so I feel there has to be some connection. Signal outside is perfect and only reason there is an issue indoors is the building is metal cladding.

Anyone any ideas?

I'm 100% sure. It's nowt to do with antennae other than those embedded inside EE & BT routers. You may see some routers with the antennae sticking out like the 1 in my avatar but EE/EE don't build them like that. It's certainly nowt to do with the mobile antennae & boosters you are familiar with & is your field.

You must be familiar with the mobile phones' ability to switch between mobile signals & WiFi. It's 1 or t'other at a time.
