There are repeaters sold for the purpose--they don't work very well

Google "cellular repeater" and you'll find a number of brands.
I just love when people spout opinion as fact.
I worked for a corporate cellular store. We installed one in our
office, and installed a number at our customers sites. All worked
flawlessly for at least the 7+ years I worked there, and as far as I
know, are still going strong (I haven't worked there in 5+ years, so
do the math).

Do you have any experience with the passive
repeaters? It's the same basic technology
that has been used for many years to keep
radios working in tunnels, mines and any
type of structure that would tend to block
or severely attenuate wireless communication.
