Convince ppl to build another cellular antenna near your wife's office.
No seriously... in an office complex there are just too many walls, electronics and cellphones of other ppl that block/steal your reception. If you are not lucky with your position to the next cellular antenna .....there is nothing you can do.03-15-12 01:13 AM - The microcells work great and have a passthrough for the network connection. It would be pretty easy to set one up on her current office connection.
I set one up for my brother and it makes a huge difference. They weren't getting any service at home except for on the porch, now they get full bars thru the whole house and the lot it's on.03-15-12 02:14 AM - I think there were a few other above that mentioned this if I understood correctly. Sprint has a device called an "Airave" what it is and does is a miniature cellular tower in your home or office building that hooks up to your broadband wired internet connection. It's not a "booster" per say, but a localized tower the size of a router. It routes all calls and data connectivity through the internet and all you have to do is be in range of it.
AT&T offers that same thing but it's of course called by another name.
So at this point the question is: Is she using a company phone, or are there others in the building that do and also use AT&T? If so, then the company might be willing to invest in some of these devices As it would help others as well.
I have the Sprint version of this and it's great. I have absolutely no service whatsoever @ home and with this in my home office myself and my whole household have full signal. (Even my in laws across the street have excellent signal and it's in my house)
Edit: I see now after visiting AT&T's website that the "Microcell" people are talking about is the same thing. If it works as well as the Sprint Airave, then I highly recommend it. Good luck.
