Here's the Verizon one:

This is a different model than mine but I don't seen mine listed anymore and it didn't support 3G data (I have wifi for data anyway) where this one does. You'll need a broadband internet connection to hook it into and it should be fairly near a window -- mine came with a 50' cable for the GPS receiver so you'll just need to run it somewhere so that it can see the sky and get a GPS lock.
It's basically a mini cell tower that should easily cover the whole interior of your house. Each carrier sells their own version of this so if you need to support multiple carriers you might need something more like this:

...which works with most phones and carriers but requires you to install an antenna. I don't think it acts as a cell tower so much as a signal repeater and amplifier. I've not tried this one, just looked at it when I was originally looking for a solution.
I have no complaints about the Verizon Network Extender. Bit pricey but works great.
