Sprint Broadens LTE Coverage, Adds Four More Cities
U.S. Operator Sprint has launched LTE services in four new cities Baltimore, Md., Gainesville, Ga., Manhattan/Junction City, Kan., and Sedalia, Mo.. In addition to Baltimore, Sprint is now offering improved 3G experience in Boston and Washington, D.C. as well.
Company plans to continue to build all-new network in other markets across the country. Sherman-Dennison, Texas, is expected to see 4G LTE service in the weeks ahead.
“The network build-out – that today is playing out in four new cities – will provide nothing less than a state-of-the art network platform for the next generation of customers. Customers across the country will begin to experience better 3G service on their devices and will be able to take advantage of 4G LTE on cutting-edge devices as we continue to launch more cities,” said Bob Azzi, senior vice president-Network, Sprint.
Sprint 4G LTE made its debut in 15 cities on July 15, and the company plans to introduce more markets to the network in 2012. By the end of 2013, Sprint expects to have largely completed the build-out of its all-new 4G LTE and 3G nationwide network.
