hey guys it's jeff Farina with pocketnow.com if you're anything like me you've had a little bit of trouble getting signal with your sprint phone indoors particularly for me it's happening at my home where I have zero coverage whatsoever I step out of my house I have four bars however once I go into my house I have no signal at so ever and that is not a good thing for me so sprint offers their own i guess you could say microcell are a femtocell alternative called the sprint airave in this video I'm actually going to unbox the airave set the airave up and test it out and show you if it's really working for me or not so let's go ahead and get to it alright it we're back and we're gonna go ahead and do a true unboxing here we're going to cut this guy open taping everything so the box has not even been touched yet this is a true unboxing for you give you the real experience we're unboxing this guy together more or less kinds of padding on top here you go here we go box is very basic see Samsung air rave as you can see right here and what I'm going to do is I'll just open it up real quick and kind of show you what's in the box and then I'm going to go ahead and get it set up I'll show you the setup if need be and show you with my my results hopefully I get some better signal with this so this is the actual air wave itself I believe this was called the uber cell before they changes the name 10 itself so it's about the size of a wireless router as you can see antennas on the back there's also going to be the input port the wind port and a AC adapter port looks like it will stand right up as you can see right here from the stand opening this up here we have few manuals the basics it will give you the ethernet cable just simple power adapter one of the things i want to touch on though is this guy right here this is a 30-foot gps extender cable which goes to the gps unit itself they include this because in order for you use the e-911 service you have to actually have GPS connect now we're going to go ahead and get this guy set up and i will show you possibly a glimpse to the setup process and i'll show you my results something i actually do want to just let you see real quick is where this comes in i have zero signal right now zero bars this is my sprint EVO so before and hopefully and after okay so I've actually gone ahead instead of the airave on the second floor of a house in a guest room that's why you're hearing some of the echo because this room isn't really fully loaded however as you can see right this is actually a system light sys that's blinking which means that it's setting itself up right now more or less so it says to wait at least 10 minutes up to an hour though so we're going to give this guy some time and then I will report on the signal of the evil itself okay now I've actually gone ahead and taken the camera off of the tripod so i apologize if it's a little shaky i want to give you a better tour of this device itself so my area of is now fully up and running so you can see we have a power and a system light that's basically the data and the fact that it's connected we also have the gps as well as the base of the input the land connection now if we look over here I actually had to run this GPS unit because i'm actually gonna be using this in the middle of the room now I haven't actually hidden these cords yet so these cords will be snaked behind but that's the GPS external unit as you can see right here and that will be fixed in time now to kind of show you the back of the you know the side of the unit first we have the sprint logo as well as the samsung logo and then once again on the back this guy does get a little warm we have the intent of my intent is pointing down because this is on the first floor I actually want signal in the basement which I do have five bars and i will show you next and there's also basically a power outlet here and the ethernet cord right there and as you can see right there this is the gps capable going out alright guys and i'm back after setting up the evo foley and i would say i have success as you can see right here i have a pretty strong signal almost entirely full it does fluctuate i am in the basement of my house actually right now so if i move to the very corner you know it may drop down to two or three bars but i do have coverage now where I before had no signal whatsoever and I'm actually to show you a quick way to see as to whether or not you are within your sprint airave coverage zone now I'm only showing you half of my screen that's because the top half is actually showing my contacts telephone numbers and I don't want you to see those so without star 99 here if you heard that beep they're made them in the area of zone and that repeating message is telling me that I am within the airave coverage zone so what that means is basically where I'm standing I am within the airave zone and I have as you can see here pretty much full signal can't complain it all so once again that was the sprint airave that is available through sprint you can actually go through either a sprint store get it through their customer service the unit itself is ninety-nine dollars now the airave covers 5,000 square feet for a house so if you're lacking coverage with sprint indoors because of the higher spectrum I really do recommend the area for it's working great for me so far so worst comes to worst you can try it out and if it's not working for you can always return at risk free sprint does have that guarantee so you liked this video please
