I posted last month about setting up my Sprint Airave and wanted to write again about my experiences. For those of you just tuning in, the Airave is a Femtocell device that acts as a mini cell tower and communicates with Sprint over a broadband connection.
Since setting it up, I have had a very good experience and have a very happy Wife. My only issue was that a few calls lost the Airave signal as I walked towards the edge of my coverage. Since my regular tower signal is a bit sketchy, when I failed over to the real tower it dropped the call. Once I re-initiated the call closer to the Airave, things were all good. This isn't really an issue with the Airave and more with my local coverage, but thought I should note this.
It appears AT&T is following suit and may offer their own femtocell in the near future: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20090107-femtocells-from-att-for-home.html
