Does anyone know if ATT has any relatively "quick & dirty" solutions

thinking of something that might leverage either the private campus
wired or wireless network to somehow fill these coverage gaps- similar
to Verizon's "Femtocell" product or T-Mobile's UMA, but for ATT.
Thanks in advance,

B.J., et. al,
I've heard anecdotally that AT&T has a femtocell product/solution in the
works. I should point out, however, that such devices aren't
necessarily "quick & dirty," as they require (at least in the case of
the Samsung product marketed by VZW) GPS reception for E911 geolocation
and time base. As such, the same phenomenon that attenuates the
cellular coverage (e.g. below ground, "heavy" building construction,
etc.) also blocks the GPS reception, so you're right back to where you
started.
