We use an in building cellular system. We have microhubs placed in our hubrooms on the campus. Then there are antenna's placed around the inside of the building that use cat5 cabling back to the microhub. The microhub sends the signal back to the main hub that then connects to the cellular provider. It is actually a very nice set up. The production areas we have are very similiar to a NOC situation and by placing an antenna inside of the encased area it would provide you with a solution.

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??? You need an LDAP server to fix this ;->:-) One suggestion I haven't seen yet: simply complain. Your cellular service provider may install a new base station in the area if enough people ask them to. Here in Europe, there is 1800 MHz digital service nearly everywhere in and around cities, as long as you're above ground. I haven't encountered a building yet that could kill an otherwise strong signal. It's only when the signal is mediocre to marginal anyway that thick walls will kill it.
