Noise and echo cancellation is incorporated to optimize audio quality, and the handset features a 3.5-mm jackpoint to connect to a headset. Other features of the Aviator handset are a 2.2-inch TFT color screen, automatic power-up and power-down, lithium-ion battery and charging cradle, adjustable keypad backlight and the ability to display alarms of the SwiftBroadband unit. The device complies with the wireless local area networking (WLAN) 802.11b/g standard.
