<div dir="ltr">This link (<a href="https://www.ubersignal.com/cell-phone-signal-booster-guide">https://www.ubersignal.com/cell-phone-signal-booster-guide</a>) has some useful entry-level information specifically about cell signal boosters. At first glance, it may appear to be targeted towards homes, but as you scroll down, you'll find a section for businesses and then more and more information. So keep scrolling.<div><br></div><div>I don't have any first-hand experience with cell (specifically) signal boosters, but I do understand the concepts. I'd suggest that you employ the services of a professional for this type of installation if you want any degree of reliability and success. There are a lot of factors at play and a professional installer will have a much better understanding of the challenges of your unique situation. Unless you or someone on your staff have/has a really solid understanding of how radio works (perhaps a ham operator), trying to DIY this may not be a great idea. I've been deep in technology for more than a few minutes and have spent a fair bit of time learning about and implementing wireless solutions. I've learned a fair bit, but I'd never consider myself an expert. Mostly, I've learned that there is far more to wireless technology than it may appear and it takes someone who is really specifically passionate about that technology to truly and successfully understand all of the nuances.</div><div><br></div><div>If you do DIY it, you'll need to be prepared to do some physical installation...running cable between your donor antenna and your amplifier and between your inside antenna(s) and the amplifier, etc. You'll also need to evaluate your desired coverage area and consider your walls and other signal-blocking structures and items, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>2 cents,<br></div><div><div>Chad<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>______________________________<br><b>Chad Neeper</b><br><font size="1">Senior Systems Engineer</font><br><br><b>Level 9 Networks</b><br><font size="1">740-548-8070 (voice)<br>866-214-6607 (fax)</font><br><br><font size="1"><i>Full IT/Computer consulting services -- Specialized in public libraries</i></font><br></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 27, 2020 at 11:04 AM Lina Hall via OPLINTECH <<a href="mailto:oplintech@lists.oplin.org">oplintech@lists.oplin.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div class="gmail-m_9095841078377164228WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">We have a deep basement that has no cell signal at all.
