Talk to the wireless engineers at your cell company.
1) Wilson is not known as a top shelf company...
2) That device is 800Mhz only...
CDMA and GSM do use 800Mhz in some cases (re-used TDMA freqs), but a great
deal of it is 1700 or 1900 Mhz...
Example, my employer runs a CDMA network. Most EVDO is now 800Mhz, but
almost all voice/RTT is 1900...
Most large GSM or CDMA networks will be making extensive use of 1700/1900.
From what I hear from the wireless guys (I am a data network guy), some of
the Wilson devices are ok, to be specific, the _plug into the phone_
types.
I have not heard good things about the area amps/repeaters.
I do know we had a number of customers calling for help with various
wilson devices, many were very upset on finding that their "Works on all
generations of CDMA, TDMA, GSM and high-speed data technologies." devices
were 800Mhz only.
In order to support multiple carriers, GSM and CDMA you would need a
quality _tri-band_ (800/1700/1900) rooftop antenna, and low loss (at 2
Ghz) coax down to a tri-band repeater device.
So far as I know, our wireless guys found several dual or tri band amps of
the _plug into the phone_ type, but I never heard about a good repeater
type. Since I am one of 2 people that debug data issues related to CDMA,
I assume I would have heard if they found one. Once of our more common
support requests is people wanting to run multiple phones/data cards at a
mobile work camp or on a fishing vessel and having performance issues.

Should I anticipate any conflicts between Ham radio and
this device?
I need something inside a 1200sf steel building, that also
includes one internal L-shaped steel wall, which will
provide cellphone access and this seems the only solution.
Thanks!
