A new hardware that enhances cellular coverages in the home or office is the other option brought by Sprint. The Airave is a mini- cell phone tower made by Smasung. The femtocell connects to Sprint’s network via a user’s broadband network and creates a smaller cell phone network, up to 5,000 square feet, within the user’s home or business.
Simultaneously, three different cell phones can use the mini network . $4.99 monthly fee is required for Airave. Also customers with carrier’s Simply Everything plan has an added advantage that they will be able to make unlimited in-house calls. According to the Company,switching from a Sprint tower to the femtocell will not change the plan to unlimited. “People want ubiquitous cell service on their wireless phones everywhere they go, and that includes their home and offices,” said Tom Jasny, Samsung Mobile’s VP of wireless systems and broadband said. From 17 Aug Femtocell will be available nationwide for $99.99.
