I've been working in the oil patch, often out in the boondocks with little or no cell coverage. Internet comes from a slooooowwww satellite connection shared with everyone out here so I miss out on using my air card, miss out on talking with my kids, etc. I've been on rigs where someone had cell boosters set up and they worked great. I was wondering if any of ya'll had any experience with any of the brands and/or any recommendations.

I'm leaning towards this model.

zBoost Metro

 

AT&T has a thing called 3G MicroCell, but it's not a booster. It runs off an Internet connection and becomes its own tower. Good for about a 40' radius. Don't know if that'll work for ya or not. I've had one for about three days now in my house (because I have no signal), but still to soon to pass judgement. Looks promising though.

 

if you have no signal, what would you boost? here's a good read... not that simple a solution
