Google picocell and femtocell about small cellphone cells that plug into the IP network. From: Scott Smith [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 10:08 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Cell phone dead zones in buildings I've gotten a couple of inquiries lately about what can be done to improve cell phone reception within our building. Mainly it's "I can't get my email!" from smartphone users. I suppose they could go to WiFi, but I'm told this will quickly suck batteries dry (I don't have a smartphone myself so I don't have any firsthand experience with that) Is there such a thing as a cell repeater that can be placed inside a building? Or some other solution that has worked for folks? Scott Smith HR Systems Development and Support Michigan State University
