Large building cell repeater
So we have 4 floors of what is effectively a Faraday cage. There is very little cell signal penetration on any floor but if you get close to a window (which is also coated) you get enough to make a call that is manageable.
So, a little over 3 years ago we installed a Zboost repeater. It has now failed and we need to replace it. It is difficult to find good information on any units but we don't want to spend a fortune on another product that will only last a few years. So, any of you have dealings with this units you could give some info on? The building is 5 years old and square with all the rooms on the outside and the nurse station, wiring closets, laundry and other rooms in the center.

No idea but for yourself if there is WIFI in the building enable WIFI calling on your handset, (if available of course) until the situation is resolved.
All the major carriers are supporting it these days.

We had Verizon install a 'tower' on one of our buildings to solve a specific geographic dead spot issue.
Solved the problem for ~$40k.

Our problem is for the short term rehab/skilled nursing residents. They would like to use their cell phones. The nurse stations have an app on their phones to use them with out business system. Those aren't an issue since we have great wi-fi coverage.
Since we have all types of short term visitors we would like to be able to support Verizon, USC, AT&T, Sprint and so forth so we probably won't go the route of $40k per carrier.
