Sprint Nextel are releasing a wifi device called the Airave in order to boost the signal area of cell phones. How? By using customers' broadband internet connections and sending the calls over the internet. This will improve signal quality in homes because the signal doesn't have to travel through brick or concrete. It works for up to 3 handsets. They are also working on a model for businesses which would support more simultaneous calls.
The catch? $50 for the box and either $15 per person or $30 for the family package.
Perhaps this is what the subways should be looking into? Though you would need a compatible handset for it to work.
