Sprint AIRAVE
Ok... so we haven't had the best of luck with Sprint (see here, and here) and while our company is slowly moving toward AT&T due to "some device" that came out in the last few months, I do have to hand it to Sprint for be one of the first companies to actually release a "why hasn't somebody thought of this sooner" product.
What Is Sprint AIRAVETM?
Sprint AIRAVETM is a device that creates a CDMA signal for your mobile phone (like a miniature cell tower). AIRAVE provides enhanced and reliable mobile phone coverage in your house or office even if your existing wireless coverage is poor.
How Does Sprint AIRAVE Work?
Sprint AIRAVE utilizes existing broadband data service to carry your mobile calls over the internet (similar to Voice Over Internet Protocol). And the best thing is that AIRAVE works with any Sprint CDMA handset!
What Equipment Do I need?
Sprint AIRAVE requires two things: broadband data service and an available Ethernet port. If you do not currently have an available Ethernet port on your DSL/Cable modem, you will need to purchase a router in order to connect the AIRAVE device to your broadband data service.
Nashville is one of the test cities for this new device. I'm not too eager to jump further on the Sprint bandwagon (my contract is up in March, and well... I'm wanting to get "some device" at that point). However, if that were not the case, I would REALLY be interested in looking further at this box.

Good Job, Sprint.
