Cell phone repeater
 

We just opened a 4 floor faraday cage that happens to have rooms for offices and residents and we need cell phone coverage inside for the residents and their families. It is about 10,000 sq/ft per floor and we would need coverage on every floor from ground to 3rd. Any recommendations on a dual band cellular repeater?

I forget the brand, but I bought one for my steel skinned barn for about $230 and it works great. Got it off Amazon. Been working well throughout this winter so the cold hasn't affected it.

Look for a BDA (bidirectional amplifier) its not going to be easy to do 4 floors. You will need a donor antenna on the roof and then some indoor antennas on the floors. Google has lots of info about this.

Will data work with these systems, or just voice?

It is just repeating the signal so it should work for both voice and data.

I see lots on google and that's the problem. I figures someone here will hav esome experience with a similar situation. I figured an indoor antenna on each floor but there is alot of equipment to choose from.

BDAs will work but installation may run a couple thousand - I've had to do three of these recently (two FD, one PD). Any decent radio shop can probably help; they're not uncommon.

Took your advise and called a couple communications places here. Coming out to take a look at the site. Thanks.
