Sprint is ready to launch their Airave signal booster on July 15th. The Airrave will plug into your broadband router to provide you with better reception. Like T-Mobile’s @Home, the Airave is target towards people, like me, who live out in the boondocks and drop a call every time they step into their house.
So what’s the difference between this and T-Mobile’s @home service? Well, the Sprint Airave broadcast an actual cell signal and should work with all handset not just Wi-Fi equipped handsets. Which is a really cool feature for family’s that does not want to upgrade everyone’s phone in the household.
You will be able to pick up the Airave signal booster on July 15th at your local Sprint store for $99. The service itself will only run you $15 a month on an individual plan, but the rumor is that it might require you to have an unlimited calling plan to function. A little more than T-Mobiles @Home but a very reasonable price for everything the Sprint Airave signal booster is offering.

Is there a replacement antenna for the airave that would boost power?
