Huh? Only the antenna, outside the faraday cage, would be able to connect to the cell network. A wire would then connect that antenna to your router.

- tsimionescu 6y agoI thought the purpose was for ypur phone to be able to connect to the cell network, for example for (non-VoIP) calls. But, if your phone can connect, so can any other sim-enabled device.
- silon42 6y agoMaybe you would just have a (fixed) phone outside, forwarding calls/sms/internet to an internal device via fixed line. Wifi hotspot would have a password, so only trusted devices can connect. Maybe Apple devices can already do that?
- boring_twenties 6y agoNo, the comment you replied to seems to be talking about using the cell network as a fallback for Internet access. That's why the stipulated an antenna on the outside of the house.
- tsimionescu 6y agoI was assuming that it meant having their phone fall back to the cell network when WiFi is iffy, and I was pointing out that this would require breaching the faraday cage entirely essentially.
