The Airave is like a personal mini cell tower that uses your internet connection to improve Sprint CDMA cell phone signal strength in a building.

Well just in case anyone is using an Apple Time Capsule as a router and is considering the Sprint Airave Femtocell, they do work together out of the box using one of the wired ethernet ports. One word of warning, even though the Airave may go all blue lights quickly, you need to wait three to four hours for the information to propagate through the Sprint system before using the Airave. I can also report that there was no evidence of blocking over Clearwire.

Edit: I really wanted this to work, but after a few days the sound quality was just not usable cellphone to cellphone. It was OK cellphone to wired phone, but somehow the delay cellphone to cellphone was just too much and only about half the words come through. It may be that the system works better with a _wired_ internet provider as my internet provider is over wireless.
