How AIRAVE works
AIRAVE™ is a femtocell, a personal base station with a radio unit that is similar to a cell tower radio. Femtocells use a low-power
antenna to transmit voice and data cellular signals in your home or small office.
Femtocells give you better cellular coverage, which means a stronger signal and improved voice quality. Also, data applications
on smartphones, such as mobile e-mail devices, work faster.
AIRAVE connects to your mobile operator’s network through your broadband internet connection. Outgoing calls go from
AIRAVE over a secure connection to your mobile operator; incoming calls reverse this route.
If you have subscribed to VoIP phone service, you can use the Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA) component in AIRAVE. This
component converts a telephone message to a digital message and sends it over the Internet as Voice over IP (VoIP).
