Re: Sprint Airave external Antenna

The GPS feture is there for a few reasons
1. so you dont set up in EU..
2. so it can do a Soft Handoff to the other Cell cites based on its Known current exact location and the other sites..
Moveing the airwave after setting it up can mess up calls resulting in dropped calls> now that is the extreme (if you set up upstairs one end of house and moved to basment or vice versa the known points are messed up and could hand off before other is ready> Per if ur reception allready isnt greatest. If you have good recep without AW you prob wont notice drops etc.
cdma is not like gsm its is a soft switch..
Think of it this way.
the AW locks gps so it knows its exact loc vs other cell sites and they know its exact loc..
if you move it after setting up it doesn't know and can hand off prematurely or try to take early..
its hard to explain but very simple. (ever notice even from back in the day.. the phones (AGps) was pretty spot n.. (even phones that didnt have socalled gps feture thats how sprint hands off Very exact known location of cell sites in relation to phone vice versa.)
(AGPS is actully Signal Triangulation based off exact known cell site locations and the resulting data extracted from the triangulation real simple real accurate.)
on any of my phones pda or not wm6 or android if i move around in my house it tracks my exact location within feet if not inches.. (its scary accurate.,)
