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.
I've never heard of any industry standard preventing such a thing. There are a few questions this raises though. The first and most obvious being, are you sure that a "booster setup" will actually help? Have you done a site survey to figure out how to actually accomplish what you need to accomplish? The other question is whether perhaps the issue he has is with the specific "booster setup" chosen. Perhaps there's something naughty about it, in particular, that has caused him to not want it in his facility (cheap Chinese radios are known, for example, for polluting the spectrum outside of the frequencies that they are designed to operate within.) Maybe he has other folks doing legit RF stuff in there and doesn't want to risk that pollution?
