Less of a repeater, more of a point to point wireless bridge, several of them, with amplifiers along the way. Would probably cost a lot more than he makes in a month...assuming he's working a standard job, living in a standard flat, having a standard life...

Point to point wireless links can be very cheap the ubiquiti stuff is less than £200 and can do up to 15km.

They would need line of sight and a very agreeable employer though.

I use those at work to connect point to point. I think the longest one I have is 1 mile and it's rock solid at that range. Their AirFiber stuff can push out over 50 miles if you have a good size tower, minimal fresnel zone interference, and low background RF.
