Subject: Re: Small Scale Distributed Antenna Systems or Microcell
Because I was the "computer guy", I was asked to install a Verizon and a AT=
&T microcell at a camp. I knew only that these things existed and the pictu=
re based instructions were awesome. As Kathy mentioned, the AT&T one requir=
es registration and has a max of ten numbers. This made it almost useless f=
or the random camp attendees. The Verizon one didn't require registration o=
r have a limit. They took the AT&T one back. Since the setup was near a wi=
ndow, I was able to connect the GPS with a cable and it worked fine. It did=
take the Verizon device what seemed like an eternity to phone home and syn=
c up. I'm not sure if they would work without the GPS.
