i'm worried about indoor performance especially the office.

the phone itself wouldn't necessarily need a more powerful antenna however, there would need to be more cell sites to effectively cover the area because as you mentioned, the higher the frequency the harder it is for it to get through buildings, which requires the tower to be closer or else you lose signal strength so 2.5 ghz will need more towers to cover the same area that a 700mhz does, it has nothing to do with wimax vs lte its a matter of which spectrum is the best set to use
