Just call your cell operator customer service and ask for someone who is able to talk about coverage issues.

Practically no cell operator provides access to these people. They take "coverage reports" and if you´re lucky, tell you when it´s going to be fixed. And the subway coverage is far from 100%. Might be 100% on the stations. Pete

Some sort of in-building cell repeater may be sufficient. The gating item, I believe, is whether you can receive adequate cellular coverage outside the building (e.g. on the roof). If so, then a simple repeater should be sufficient. If not, then a wired micro-cell would seem to be required. If signal is adequate up on the roof, then you may be able to construct a purely passive repeater, composed of a high-gain outdoor antenna, some coax, and an appropriate in-door antenna located in your "no-signal" area. If you want some horsepower, you can consider amplified cellular repeater systems. (Nextel used to install these for customers all the time. But they ONLY covered SMR band!) One example of an active antenna repeater system: http://cellantenna.com/repeater/building_repeater.htm I have yet to locate a dual (or tri) band amplified repeater system. They would be nice, to ensure that both 800 and 1900 bands worked, so ALL cell/PCS phones "would just work". If you toss in the SMR bands, then all cellphones AND Nextel "would just work". (employees wouldn't be restricted to using just one vendor, or one band.) Also, some 800Mhz-band cellphone companies have purchased additional RF capacity up in the 1900-band. Depending on how the cell companies ultimately use the new spectrum, your employees may not receive minimum call-blocking rates, or may not be able to access cellular data services, unless both 800 and 1900 bands are accessible.
