We have indoor DAS (iDAS) installed in a few buildings. It's horrendously expensive, and there's pretty much no chance anymore of getting carriers to help fund it. The ACUTA group just did a series of webinars on cellular technologies and forecasting for the future, if you're a member of that organization. Wi-Fi calling is definitely going to play a key role. You might also want to look at what local regulations you have for public safety radios (police/fire/etc walkie-talkies) - there may be requirements for your institution to make sure that those signals can get into these new buildings too. -- Julian Y.
