OT: Increasing Cell Phone Signal inside a NOC?
I'm sure a lot of people have the same problem as we are having... Our NOC and Server Equipment is located in "No Cell Phone signal" zone of our building (It's amazing what metal walls, Server Racks and HVAC Systems will do to Cellphone Signals). I was wondering if anyone out there has found a device that will be able to repeat the Cell Phone signal back into our NOC & Server Area's??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Well we need a little bit more information. Who is the cellular provider? What modes are you trying to operate the cell in? Just a for instance and to let you know that those systems do exist. For an iden system, Southern LINC sells this: http://www.southernlinc.com/largemultiple.asp Andrew --- <zerocool@netpath.net> http://www.andrewsworld.net/ ICQ: 2895251 Cisco Certified Network Associate "Learn from the mistakes of others.

You'd probably need a lot of indoor usage to convince your carrier to do it, but you could ask them to deploy a picocell in your space. For example: http://www.nokia.com/networks/product_catalog/pc_product_highlights/1,5567,,00.html?prod_id=RAS00010&path=mcat&mcat=44445&scat=48260 Again, you'd need your cell carrier's cooperation for this.
