>I'm sure a lot of people have the same problem as we are having... Our
NOC and Server Equipment is located in "No Cell Phone signal" zone of our
building >(It's amazing what metal walls, Server Racks and HVAC Systems
will do to Cellphone Signals). I was wondering if anyone out there has
found a device that >will be able to repeat the Cell Phone signal back
into our NOC & Server Area's???
You need an LDAP server to fix this ;->
Uhm, if your cellphone provider supports call forwarding to another number
when the phone is outside of signal range, then you could set up an
in-house cordless phone system and everyone could set up their cell to
forward to their cordless phone. Talk to any local company selling PBXs
and office phone systems for more info on office-wide cordless phone
systems.
This will work because the transmitters are inside the metal walls and
they can be placed to work around obstructions like HVAC or racks.

P.S. of course, my first answer might have been right too... http://www.innmug.org/information/switchview.html
Replace the cordless phone system with 802.11b and VOIP and some LDAP
servers and this phoneset http://www.symbol.com/news/pressreleases/press_releases_wirelesslans_vo.html
