Frank, Thanks for the feedback. My thought is that it silly to scrap plans for a DAS beacuse one vendor chooses to not be a part of it. The somewhat scary part is that we would told that even if we had a DAS that AT&T wouldn't be providing signal for it.
Obviously, we can relay and ampify any OTA signal, but that it differernt that a connection back to the carrier's network.

Personally, I would think that using WiFi calling as a replacement for cell coverage (as opposed to an enhancement) is a long ways off, especially given how many phones are still out there that don't support it. Instead, I'd suggest looking at a 3rd party DAS system, which would also have the advantage of allowing you to work with multiple carriers. We've been having good results with Seamless Cellular, though I'm sure there are plenty of other vendors out there: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.seamlesscellular.com_&d=CQIFaQ&c=2GaipCMI-4CXTl0y2l8grQS3faC7QKiDQZYpyUtD00M&r=uvxIRDMxwssmr2VjVNRe6I_MeNT0SmtowN9dpqcMAFc&m=NXkjomrT3tAlBdDINCRObWkJEimTOp5YtYebqoXGFzY&s=2C-TkXW52Z23_K51s-saiv4V-sFmqA-qJhXaL_jD76s&e= Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that Manager of Network Operations | is simple, elegant, and wrong.
