One thing you might also want to consider are any calls you make to 911 whilst using a repeater.

I use a repeater supplied by T-Mobile and they made it very clear, and I had to specifically acknowledge a statement, that using such a repeater takes away from emergency services being able to find out where you are if you make a 911 call from your mobile.

Some may refer to this as a feature, depending on how much tin foil you have laying about, but the users of such device may need to be warned about emergency calls. They'll need to be able to describe where they are to the responding sirens.

Hi all;

Looking to improve cell reception for mixed ATT/Verizon users on the
first floor of one of our buildings.

Starting to dig into this and coming across items like this one at
Amazon[1], but thought some of you out there might have recommendations
for something that has worked well for you and has been reliable.

Am in a position to run cable from the roof to the floor in question.

Thanks,
Ray
