So I have a situation where I am trying to get LTE to an out of band router and there is no signal available in the data center. There was a booster setup purchased and I have a manager telling me that standards, industry and not local, prohibit the installation.

He has yet to produce any documented industry standard so I thought I would reach out to see if anyone here has heard of this.

We fall under NIST controls and I haven't found anything there and have also looked at TIA and not found anything.

Thanks...

Anyone out there deal with data center design?

Looking for any info available which provides guidelines on putting antennas, like LTE booster, in the data center.

Not quite sure what you're looking for here Robert. As far as placing something like an LTE booster in a data center, you'd just use common sense (place it in the best possible place from a connectivity standpoint). Is this something you're considering in order to provide service to folks who run LTE backup connections on their gear (like serial concentrators)? Wireless/RF site surveys and how to do them effectively are pretty well-documented at this point.

Or are you asking about roof access/deploying antennas on a rooftop safely/securely?
