I am looking for a good cell signal booster for my shop, I have excellent service outside, but with the metal on the walls, and my ceiling, i have no reception unless the overhead doors are open, or standing next to a window. I have cellular one of east central illinois, they are a gsm network, not for sure on the frequency. I was thinking of changing service to verizon, which is 3g here(cdma i think) but changed my mind on that. However I am going to go with wireless internet for my shop laptop, so I am looking for a good booster that is compatible with my current cell phone, and with verizons wireless internet. My shop is 40x60 with 16ft sidewalls, and finished with metal on the walls and the ceiling. Both cell carriers work great outside, if the doors are open, and within 3ft of the window.

Sorry for the novel, just wanted to provide all i Know .

Missed the internet portion. Wilson also makes a 4G signal booster, but it is separate from the normal cell phone booster.

Make sure you get a system that will boost your entire shop. Most boosters have a painfully limited indoor range. The system I bought can drive multiple antennas if need be, but should cover the entire 10,000 sqft shop.
