Be careful about the new rules that were put into place in the spring. My experience is that resellers are still promoting "consumer" devices for use in commercial buildings which is now a no-no. Under the new regulation, consumer devices are to be used only for individuals in their home, car, RV, boat, etc.. Industrial signal boosters are the only allowed non-grandfathered devices to be used in buildings. They have to be installed by certified installers and require a FCC license under the new regulations. The new fines are steep at $100,000 an instance, so the wireless providers really have a hold of the FCC. ---- Matthew Huff | 1 Manhattanville Rd Director of Operations | Purchase, NY 10577 OTA Management LLC | Phone: 914-460-4039 aim: matthewbhuff | Fax: 914-694-5669 -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@nanog.org] On Behalf Of John Schiel Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 1:28 PM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: OT - Verizon/ATT Cell/4G Signal Booster/Repeater On 12/15/2014 07:45 PM, Ray Van Dolson wrote: One thing you might also want to consider are any calls you make to 911 whilst using a repeater.

Some may refer to this as a feature, depending on how much tin foil you have laying about, but the users of such device may need to be warned about emergency calls. They'll need to be able to describe where they are to the responding sirens. --John
Hi all;
Looking to improve cell reception for mixed ATT/Verizon users on the first floor of one of our buildings.
Starting to dig into this and coming across items like this one at Amazon[1], but thought some of you out there might have recommendations for something that has worked well for you and has been reliable.
Am in a position to run cable from the roof to the floor in question.
Thanks, Ray
