Remember that the majority of your COTS Devices for this, AKA "cell phones" have a relatively low ERP value with small internal antennas, you are going to need tall towers, and frequent placement just like the cellular network anywhere else.

I think it is a start, and another tool never hurts. It would be interesting to see what they could do with the 700Mhz LTE technology. You have better building penetration and can be located much further from the cell site vs the 2100 Mhz that this system is using. Not to mention data rates over 100Mbps and "acceptable" performance beyond 20miles with LOS.
