Are Samsung's softswitches still rebranded Sonus gear? I hope so....though I dont understand the reference to a "different standard".

At Sprint, the carrier launched the Samsung-made Airave femtocell in select areas of Denver and Indianapolis and plans to roll it out to the rest of the cities and to Nashville this year and nationwide in 2008. Airave is available at Sprint stores for $49.99. Monthly service is $15 per month for individuals and $30 per month for families, plus a subscriber’s regular cellular voice plan.

The 50-milliwatt femtocell, which incorporates 850/1,900MHz CDMA 1x EV-DO cellular technology, communicates via cellular spectrum to a cellphone within a 5,000-square-foot area. Within that range, the phone conversation is routed over an Ethernet-connected broadband modem, traveling via the Internet to a carrier-operated “soft switch” designed by Samsung. The conversation isn’t converted to the VoIP protocol but is converted to a different standard that enables cellular-format voice streams to travel over the Internet. Only registered Sprint handsets can be used with a particular femtocell.
