I know this is an old post, but, for the record, bars are not an accurate indicator of signal strength on a femtocell. The bars are used to measure signal on a macro. Might do better to go into "field test" mode on your phone. You can get a more accurate indication of your Dbm's there.

Republic Wireless is interesting. They basically bundle what you do with Google Voice enabled apps (not using Google Voice or needing Google Voice account) on your phone with the ability to go on the road and use macros (cell towers). They say it's seamless and I know someone that uses them and does not complain.

For some phones it's called "CDMA Only". Some of the newer phones (read: "triband") can have these issues. Once the Airave vendor releases new firmware updates, I'm sure it'll clear some of these issues.

That's a theory for sure. The firmware on the phones has not yet been released. Just realize, you will need wifi at the location, obviously.
