FAQs

How do I know that I am using my Smart Node service?
Your mobile phone display will automatically indicate if you are within small cell signal range. If registered and configured properly, your mobile phone should display a small cell service message and an associated signal indicator.

Will my call drop if I leave the building in the middle of a call?
If you move out of range of the Smart Node, your call will be automatically transferred to the next available network service offered by your mobile service provider, without disconnecting your call. If no other mobile network is available your call will be disconnected.

What happens if my broadband connection fails?
If you lose your broadband connection in cases of IP connectivity set up failure, the Internet light will light solid orange and your Smart Node coverage will stop. The Smart Node service will return when the broadband connection is recovered.

What happens if my Smart Node stops operating – can I still place a call?
If your Smart Node stops operating (e.g. if you have lost your broadband connection) then you will no longer be able to place calls through the Smart Node. However, if you have coverage from the mobile network of your mobile service provider you can still place calls normally.
