Thank you for the reply.
Suppose the unit can't get proper GPS signal, lets say hypothetically because I don't have it near a window and don't have the external antenna set up. Assuming the unit doesn't get a proper GPS signal and as such E911 doesn't work properly, will the unit still function as a mini cell tower and send/receive calls to.from my cell phone?
The network extender will not work without a GPS signal.
