Let's say that we had a large garden. At one edge of the garden (about 100m from the house), there's a reasonable mobile signal. But by the time the signal tries to get across the garden and into the house, it's died, so using mobiles in the house is a pita.
Using calls-over-wifi isn't a solution, because I also want the mobile signal for data rather than calls (wired broadband is worse than edge-of-garden mobile speeds). Using the network's signal booster isn't an option, because they don't work from 100m away (AFAIK).
Anyone got any experience/knowledge of systems that can capture the signal from 100m away, and could then send it around the house?

There's no civilian way to 'boost' a mobile signal. Some networks provide a 'boost box' which in fact just routes the signal via a broadband connection, rather than through radio.

Some are even legal - Nextivity Cel-Fi, for example - due to them having been approved by the mobile network. Some are less legal.
Hence me asking whether anyone had any actual experience of using them.
I also thought you weren't allowed to do it - sorry!
They look most intriguing.
So, aerial at the far side of the trees towards the network mast, long cable back to the house, then a personal "cell" to send the signal around the house.
