The HandSet is the star of the system. Each HandSet allows you to access up to four phone lines. So no matter where you are in a home or office every phone line is available to you, without regard to which phone is plugged in to which outlet. Plus, each HandSet contains a large screen LCD, which is menu driven, so using the special features is easy, with no codes to memorize. What features? Every HandSet comes with:

• Caller ID on every line *
• Call Waiting
• Call Waiting Caller ID
• Call Transferring
• Call Conferencing
• Call Extension-to-Extension calling
• Call Forwarding *
• Personal and System Directories **
• Extension Identifier (Internal Caller ID)
• Inbound Distinctive Ringing
• Date / Time display

Sounds cool doesn't it? Well that's because it is. Also, each HandSet utilizes Advanced Digital Wireless Technology for maximum voice quality, security and range.

*Some services must be ordered from your local phone company.

** System directory only on AirWay 308.

1. Digitizing. When making a call, the voice stream is analog. AirWay HandSets take that analog stream and digitize it. Digitizing the signal does two things. First, it makes the signal clearer- thus better reception for the user. Second, a digitized stream is harder to intercept.
   
   
2. Scrambling. After the signal is digitized we scramble it as well. If someone tried to intercept the data stream all they would get is scrambled data. If they were listening to a scanner they would only hear digital noise, much like a telephone modem.
   
   
3. Encoding. We also encode the data before sending it. If someone were to intercept the data stream en-route, many things would have to happen. Not only would they have to unscramble it, but they would also need to know how we encoded the stream, and then decode it. HWN's encoding scheme is proprietary, buried in the logic of a custom chip, and unreadable from the outside world.
   
   
4. Batch Transmitting. When we transmit the data stream, we do so in short batches, or packets. We send a small, packet transmission every 1.75 milliseconds. By transmitting in packets we cause the data stream to break up. If someone were to grab the stream they would only get one small piece of the overall data puzzle - putting a puzzle together with only one piece is impossible. Even if they did assemble multiple pieces, they would still have to decode and unscramble the data.
   
   
5. Reassembling. As the AirWay Controller collects the packets, it begins to reassemble them into a complete and correct data stream.
   
   
6. Decode. After reassembling the stream the Controller begins to decode the data stream.
   
   
7. Unscrambling. Then it will unscramble the decoded message before broadcasting the voice signal into your secure, hard-wired telephone line.
