The corporate real estate market is enjoying a favorable moment. Driven by the return to in-person work and the growing demand for premium office space, the segment is operating with strong demand and in a competitive environment, in which developments must offer ever greater convenience and comfort to corporate tenants, employees, and visitors.
Gone are the days when location alone determined the choice of a corporate address. With the advance of technology, these developments have come to meet a range of requirements in order to remain relevant. Beyond contemporary design and architecture, cutting-edge technology and energy efficiency have established themselves as the key combination in the corporate real estate market. The search for more modern buildings has established itself as one of the most important trends in the corporate real estate market.
In this context, indoor mobile connectivity is no longer a differentiator and has become a basic utility, comparable to electricity or water supply. Users and companies expect uninterrupted cellular coverage, high-speed internet, and signal stability in every environment — from the basement to the common areas.
Excellent mobile connectivity directly impacts the productivity of companies and employees, the experience of visitors and users, the operation of the building’s intelligent systems, and the appreciation of the real estate asset itself. More than comfort, it is essential for building automation, security, climate control, and energy management.
Developments with robust mobile infrastructure, made possible by solutions such as QMC’s DAS (Distributed Antenna System), attract high-profile tenants and reinforce an image of innovation and efficiency. In an increasingly digital market, ensuring cellular network coverage and performance has become a strategic requirement: developments prepared for digital transformation gain a competitive advantage, offer superior experiences, and position themselves ahead of the competition.
Modern corporate buildings impose physical barriers — walls, partitions, and insulated glass façades — that hinder or completely block the signal from external mobile telephony antennas, particularly at the high frequencies of 5G. The result is frequent dead zones across commercial floors, with a lack of cellular signal inside offices, as well as in basements, elevators, garages, and internal corridors.
To overcome this challenge without major construction work, while serving all carriers simultaneously, premium developments have opted for a dedicated indoor infrastructure based on QMC’s DAS. This was the path chosen by one of the most iconic addresses on the Faria Lima financial axis, in São Paulo: B32.
B32, famous for the metal whale sculpture on Av. Brigadeiro Faria Lima, is an icon of Brazilian corporate architecture and a symbol of São Paulo’s financial center. Certified LEED Platinum and WELL, the building reflects international standards of sustainability, environmental comfort, and well-being. At 125 meters tall, with 25 floors and approximately 54,000 m² of leasable area, the Triple A development combines contemporary design, energy efficiency, and cutting-edge technology, incorporating an insulated glass façade, a BIM-based design, and intelligent climate control and natural lighting systems.
More than a corporate building, B32 embodies the concept of urban integration, with cafés, restaurants, a theater, and a public square. Its spacious, versatile floor plates serve companies of various sizes and sectors — among them Meta, Comgás, and BR Partners. With a certified helipad, 27 high-speed elevators, raised flooring, and advanced security and automation systems, the building establishes itself as a national benchmark.
To bring the best cellular coverage infrastructure to B32, QMC Telecom deployed a DAS throughout the entire building, delivering:
In partnership with QMC Telecom, B32 has established itself as one of the most technologically advanced and sustainable corporate environments in Latin America.
“B32 was conceived to set new standards for contemporary corporate developments by proposing a friendly relationship with the city and its people and by investing in efficiency and sustainability. And, to ensure our excellence, providing high-performance mobile connectivity was essential. In QMC Telecom we found the ideal partner to create, implement, and manage a tailor-made, modern project worthy of our values, purpose, and innovations.”
— Rafael Birmann, creator of B32
With QMC’s DAS, B32 now has secure, high-capacity mobile connectivity — a strong, reliable signal even with many users connected simultaneously — and low latency in all areas, ensuring uninterrupted video calls, smooth browsing, and proper operation of monitoring and building automation systems.
The benefit extends to everyone: corporate tenants, employees, operational staff, and visitors have continuous access to the network, with no drops as they move through the building, and all intelligent building systems can use the mobile network as their connectivity base. The infrastructure is prepared for the constant growth in network usage — more devices, more data, more automation, and new technologies — and contributes directly to the asset’s appreciation and the optimization of its operation, with energy, security, and maintenance monitored and adjusted in real time.
Security, reliability, and operational continuity
As data travels over the mobile network, it is protected by carriers’ high-standard protocols, offering greater security than Wi-Fi networks. The DAS QMC installation is fast, clean, and requires no major construction, and the system is monitored 24/7, ensuring rapid identification and resolution of any faults. The result is a superior, continuous connectivity experience, with the reliability the corporate market demands.
QMC: leadership in indoor connectivity in Latin America
Present in five countries, QMC is a multinational leader in indoor coverage solutions in Latin America, with more than 250 systems installed and monitored 24/7 for rapid identification and resolution of faults. The company was the first neutral host to implement an indoor 5G network in Brazil and delivers indoor connectivity projects for the largest shopping malls, hospitals, hotel complexes, airports, and tourism and corporate developments in the country.
