Ferrari Mailing List: Re: [NFC] Spam Filters & Cellular Repeaters?

Yes, you can get repeaters installed inside buildings.  Corning does it in
several buildings.  The steel frames act as faraday cages and effectively
block cell service.

I can get further info if needed - the offices of the guys who manage the
cell phones are about twenty feet away from my office.

Second problem. We are about to move into our new headquarters building
and have found that the cellular signal inside the building is unusable.
It is a steel frame building with metal roof & walls, so it makes a
pretty effective Faraday cage. However, the building we're moving out of
had the same construction and no issue with cell signal. Has anyone
successfully used any sort of cellular repeater where we can put
something inside the building to boost the cell signal to a usable
level? The signal seems fine if you're outside the building, but not
inside.

Yes, there are several products that seem like they would fit your needs.
Start here, then google away:

Consider also t-mobile's seamless WiFi-to-Cellular service (dunno how
t-mobile's coverage in your area is, however).

vty,
