We have a Wilson booster in the same building that is boosting 800 Mhz
and 1000Mhz, into three antennas in the basement. These three residents
in this one room with newer Verizon iPhones still could not get their
data to work until we added the Samsung device.

For that price you can purchase a cell booster that stays off your
network altogether and will help with any cell carrier in range.
Thank you,

Dude, don't do that. LMR600. We buy it by the thousands of feet. It
is much easier to run, less prone to damage, and equivalent in loss
per frequency range.

That's most helpful! Do you have any idea what kind of cable that
was? I'm assuming anything that will handle 1600 MHz with minimal

It's an SMB connector, but again I find it really had to believe
that if you stick it outside until you get a good sync and power
it down that it won't resync indoors, I've never tried inside of
a nuclear bunker, but in normal houses and offices with tile and
metal roofs I've never had one issue.

The Verizon cell extender (made by Samsung) has a little
connector (don't recall the type, but it's about the size of
MCM or so). Put a wire on the end of the coax, and you're
there.

Verizon's Samsung SCS series 3G and 4G Network Extender is
what I was dealing with. We had to run our own GPS antenna
from the roof down to the basement to get the damn thing to
sync properly.
As an aside, I didn't realize the Low E windows were code
now, and this is a very newly renovated building. Will keep
that in mind!

Pull out a GPS App on your phone and make sure you can
actually read the satellites from behind the window (I
used 'GPS Test' on Android). We had to install one of
these boosters and were troubleshooting why the damn thing
wasn't working when I noticed that my phone GPS receiver
was working in rooms where the windows were open and not
working in rooms where the windows were closed. Building
management didn't even know they'd purchased the windows
with RF film.

It might not be just a matter of getting the location. If
they use the 1pps clock from GPS to calibrate an
oscillator before they start transmitting, then it would
legitimately take 20-30 minutes.
Telrad BTS's are like that too. Pisses me off if I ever
have to reset the power.

Modern GPS receivers work surprisingly well, if not
very accurately, from inside a single floor wood framed
house... My oneplus one will pick up 6 satellites while
standing in a central hallway 15'+ from any window.
Should be accurate enough to get a location within 75'.
All bets are off if it is a concrete framed apartment
building or something like that.
I still find it amazing that anything works at -162
RSL. Thanks to tiny channel size and very basic
modulation.

Canopy NAT seems to break it with regularity. It
might also fail if the GPS location that it reports is
not within a 1/4 mile of where the customer address
is.
Also requires enough GPS (like near a window) to get a
GPS lock.
