Hi,<br>
<br>
This is an issue that everybody has had over the years. Inside some of our buildings, especially in rural areas, we've had spotty or even non-existent cellular signals.<br>
<br>
Recently, one of our branches had voices concerns about being unable to make an emergency call from inside a library building on their cell phone. Or even just getting and making calls.<br>
<br>
One of the proposed solutions from the township's city manager was installing an extender--basically a micro cell tower--inside the building.<br>
<br>
The problems with that are:<br>
1. The extender only supports one specific carrier.<br>
2. It uses the library's Internet connection.<br>
3. Other users with devices from the same carrier could use the extender.<br>
<br>
Another possibility is using a signal booster, such as one from WeBoost. The ones they sell are carrier agnostic, plug-and-play and will work with multiple carriers at the same time, but:<br>
1. Depending on how the external antenna is aimed, it will prioritize the strongest cell tower signal first. So there's no guarantee that it would work with everything consistently.<br>
2. You have to register the booster with the carrier (though it's stated that most carriers approve of them anyway).<br>
3. A bit more expensive than an extender.<br>
<br>
I personally have no experience with signal boosters or cellular in general. My question is: Has anyone used a signal booster or have some similar solution to improve cellular signals inside a building?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
