Major Signal Boost

We had a situation where no high-speed was available, and we had limited sucess with EVDO cards because we were inside a metal building. We've installed a repeater which repeats both the 800 and 1900 Mhz bands (specifically for Verizon) and now have more than ample signal. We have gotten burst recieve rates on our Verizon KPC650 cards of 1.5 Mb/s, typical is around 800. We used a repeater rather than a booster or high-gain antenna because of the distance between the inside and outside, and the number of users who had cards.

We got ours from CellularAntenna, but there's many out there to pick from.
I should also note that not only are our wireless card users happy, but so are the cell phone users who couldn't get signal inside until now!
