My little home one gives me about a 30' range of boosted signal, but I'm in a spot with a very weak cell signal even on the roof, and mine is hooked up with 50' of 50ohm lmr400 instead of 75 ohm cable like specified, as I already had it running between my roof and basement and it took 2 minutes to reuse it.
The proposed system would be for multiple carriers. The roof has clear LOS to the cell tower about 2 miles away. The building has two levels with an RF-proof floor. The inside range would be ideally 100+' radius. I will give tessco a call sometime. It looks like a very important business line to them.
