Wilson is the way to go. They have a couple of products not on their
website that only certified installers can sell that are even higher
powered. Works with all 4 4G carriers at once.

Although this might not apply to you in the US, anyone else thinking
about trying this might want to check up on possible legal backlash from
using one of these devices. I know you can't legally use one of these in
Dubai.

They’re legal in the US as long as they’re registered with the carrier and
meet the new regulations for intelligent cellular repeaters.  There were
some new laws regarding these repeaters that went into effect earlier this
year, I think around April.

A Cel-Fi repeater that I used to own did a nifty thing by scanning for and
amplifying only the signals belonging to the carrier the repeater was
programmed for rather than doing a full band repeat of everyone.  I got rid
of the Cel-Fi when I upgraded to the iPhone 5S which has WiFi calling
available on it.  It works quite well and no need for the repeater any more.

Best,
