Currently in talks with 02 business with our mobile contracts, been with them 8 years now and I have got a cracking offer with them!

However we have a new unit in an industrial estate, the O2 signal is very poor, in fact when you go in to the actual building you loose all signal!

So we are getting a boost box from O2 but these need a phone line?

So ok I'll look at Internet for this to work as we need Internet anyway, but then he mentioned the pop up office, which sounds good, granted not the cheapest but I think you can forgive the price for the fact it's mobile? But is it any good?

As it still doesn't get round the fact we will still have poor signal?

Ok so the two devices you have mentioned are almost the complete opposite of each other:

The boost box uses an existing broadband connection to boost the 3g signal in the immediate area around where it is placed. Allowing your 3g devices to use your broadband.

The popup office product inversely takes in a 3/4g signal and then acts as a wifi point to allow normal wifi devices to use the 3g/4g signal.

In your specific case you need a boost box but a prerequisite to this is having 4Meg+ broadband in place. The popup office product is useless to you in your new office as it would not get any 3/4g signal to send out as Wifi.
