We have a central Cell tower where service providers have their Antennas/dish's and everything. DAS system connected to this central location via fiber. Check vendor "Mobile Access" for their solutions.
However, I wouldn't recommend doing Wi-Fi over it. Thanks Manoj ----------------------------------------- P.

Do you have and antenna on the outside of the building point to the nearest cell tower? Did you contract with a carrier or vendor to bring in cell over broadband? You can see I'm still way back in the research process. We are still investigating the best method to bring the cell service into the building. Thanks again!
