Any advice on cellular repeaters?

My boss and I had a meeting today with a local government entity that is looking to extend cellular coverage inside a very large thick walled courthouse. They will need to cover about four floors, all of them concrete and marble, so we will need to bring in a boosted signal from the outside.

After researching I have found a few different companies that provide commercial grade solutions but just don't know which are good and which aren't. As I rely on actual user feedback for reviews as opposed to ones found on the product site themselves, I figured this would be a great place to start refining my searches.

This could be a huge opportunity for our small company so I could use any help you all can give.

Here are a few sites that I found.

Thanks.
 
Are we talking about one cell carrier here? or several different carriers?

If your talking about one carrier, why not call that carriers commercial sales and make ask them what works best. If it is multiple carrers then you will have to deal with the different techs from each carrier and it would get complex very quick
 
It is only Verizon. The client had contacted them and was told there was nothing that they could do. The in building booster that Verizon sells will not work because it does not allow enough concurrent connections. I think it's only 3.
 
Is the client a current verizon customer? It sounds like they started talking about a home cell repeater which certainly wouldn't work. Like k1pp3r said- you need to get ahold of someone on the commercial/gov't side of the business since they are the ones that can help. Especially since it is a gov't client I'm sure they have something they can use- you just need to talk to the right people.
 
If you like, i can get you in contact with a sales rep on the business side
 
leave it to the government to build entire office buildings out of marble, then pay more to have cell repeaters installed because the regular cell towers cant penetrate expensive marble......

the building i work in has a repeater in the ceiling over all the cubes. i think its hooked into our network and then to an antenna on the roof, though im not sure. i always have full service in the building.

im pretty sure its this one, but i could be wrong

Yep those are the ones I think we are going with. Came highly recommended a few times in our search. Heading over there tomorrow to do a more thorough assessment. We need to nail this one because there is a chance to land a HUGE contract in another capacity if we prove ourselves here.
