Default getting radio communication into a metal building

eganders wrote:
I am a consultant for an AVL (automatic vehicle location system)
system used by the Southeastern counties of Michigan. The system is
used on winter maintenance vehicles and works on 900 MHz. The
vehicles are often stored overnight in metal buildings where it is
difficult to obtain transceiver communication from the AVL system. Is
there a low cost (possibly passive) way to port 900 MHz radio
transmissions into these buildings?

Thanks,

One would expect a person who is acting professionally as an RF
consultant to already have significant knowledge in this area. I
realize this is a government job, but I wouldn't hire a day laborer
to act as a master carpenter or project manager. Please don't bill
the transit property for your time spent here trying to learn things
in a subject are which you're supposed to already have mastered.
