Looking for a little help from telecom techies to explain some information I found on project angel (AT&T). This is my post on the WRLS board. Someone willing to take a stab on how it works?

It appears the box will contain additional equipment that will work over the cellular phone frequency. I'm not sure if after the box detects that your mobile phone is in the house if it hands off incoming calls to your house phone or sends it directly to your mobile phone. It does say the mobile phone acts as a cordless phone so it is a little confusing to me since it says calls go to the home line.

<<With an extra piece of equipment, fixed-wireless customers also will be able to use their AT&T mobile phones inside their homes as cordless extensions of their home lines. The equipment detects when an AT&T mobile phone is in the house and automatically transfers incoming cell-phone calls to the home line, AT&T officials said.

Customers can also extend this integration between mobile and home lines to their guests. The equipment can be programmed to handle incoming calls for up to 10 mobile phones.

Although the technology uses the same frequency band as the latest generation of wireless phones, it can provide much more capacity to each user. Because the transmitters are fixed, not mobile, the connection is far more stable and reliable than a mobile phone call. AT&T officials also say the sound quality is as good as a wired phone.

One of the best things about the technology, company officials said, is that the equipment cost has come down significantly, from more than $1,100 per home to about $750 now and about $500 within two years. That's roughly what it costs AT&T to add local phone service to its cable TV networks.>>
