Antenna repetiter

Hello,

I own a metallic warehouse, and I can't receive GSM signals from the
inside. Is there an technical solution (antennas, amplifiers ?) to emit
and receive calls from the inside ?

Thanks

Google for GSM repeater or GSM amplified antenna. You'll find a number of
suppliers. I looked, awhile back, because the apartment I moved to seems
to be in what I'll call a reception greyhole -- not completely gone, but
very poor, to the point that turning only slightly will lose signal. The
commercial building powered versions averaged around $650 (US). A bit
beyond what I'm willing to spend. :-) That got me wondering if the passive
window mounted antennae intended for cars might be usable. At $30 (again,
US), that's much more affordable.

Crazy as it may seem - and not particularly efficient electronically, a
mobile antenna on the roof of the building, a few metres of low-loss
co-axial cable another mobile antenna inside the building may work if the
external signal is reasonable.

It works in my concrete house with metal mosquito mesh over all windows.

Good luck
