Poor indoor cell phone signal

Question

Due to the construction materials of an office building, cell phone reception is poor, and it's quite common that calls are dropped.

AT&T, Verizon, and RIM are the typical cell phone networks used (iPhones, Androids, and Blackberries).

Is there a way to boost the signal somehow to provide a better signal? Would I have to attach something to the ethernet network? (there is limited bandwidth, so I would like to avoid this)

Answer 1

You'll need to use either a local GSM/CDMA repeater or enable some sort of service (such as UMA) that can tunnel the connection back to the wireless provider over WiFi instead of cellular.
