Thanks for the info on the standards portion.
The booster configuration has been setup in a test scenario where the
external antenna has been placed outside with line of site to the
tower, less than a tenth of a mile away, with the feed cable run down
a hallway indoors, the booster connected, and the indoor antenna
connected (not in the data center though).
Test with LTE equipment, ie. cell phones, has brought the signal from
barely a single bar of 1x to 4 bars of LTE with good speeds.
Manager has no issue with equipment purchased and has polled the other
tenants in the same data center and they are also OK with it. He has
just cited that there is some standard but has not been forthcoming
with any documentation.
I figured if there was such a standard then someone here would
probably have run across it at some time.
Is he denying on some industry "LTE" standard or some other data center
or security standard?
I am getting the feeling this is just something he has heard or been
told in the past and really doesn't know.

So I have a situation where I am trying to get LTE to an out
of band router and there is no signal available in the data
center. There was a booster setup purchased and I have a
manager telling me that standards, industry and not local,
prohibit the installation.
He has yet to produce any documented industry standard so I
thought I would reach out to see if anyone here has heard of this.
We fall under NIST controls and I haven't found anything there
and have also looked at TIA and not found anything.
I've never heard of any industry standard preventing such a thing.
There are a few questions this raises though. The first and most
obvious being, are you sure that a "booster setup" will actually
help? Have you done a site survey to figure out how to actually
accomplish what you need to accomplish? The other question is
whether perhaps the issue he has is with the specific "booster
setup" chosen. Perhaps there's something naughty about it, in
particular, that has caused him to not want it in his facility
(cheap Chinese radios are known, for example, for polluting the
spectrum outside of the frequencies that they are designed to
operate within.) Maybe he has other folks doing legit RF stuff in
there and doesn't want to risk that pollution?
