This year Sprint S has made a significant investment in its wireless
network to better meet the needs of its wireless customers. From the rollout
of 4G LTE to the upgrade of thousands of 3G sites across the country to
thousands of voice and data capacity additions, Sprint has focused resources
and funds to improve its overall network quality and performance. Sprint has
hit a deployment stride and is making measurable progress on its goal to bring
Network Vision to customers nationwide.
Sprint has launched 4G LTE in 49 markets – including Dallas, Houston, Atlanta
and Baltimore – and sites are on-air and implementation is under way in
hundreds more. In fact, Sprint has announced nearly 150 markets that should
see an official LTE launch in the coming months, including 36 markets that
have been added today.* Sprint also has implemented 3G service improvements in
more than 70 markets, from Asheville, N.C., to Philadelphia and from Hudson,
N.Y., to Santa Barbara, Calif.
Through Network Vision, voice quality is enhanced and Sprint customers in
upgraded areas are seeing better performance on their smartphones, mobile
broadband connection cards and mobile hotspots when using the Sprint 4G LTE
and 3G networks. Customers can expect to experience the following performance
improvements:
* Faster data speeds that enable instant Web access for news updates, HD
viewing and game-playing, quicker video downloads and clear video chats.
* Better signal strength when making a call or using the Web.
* Fewer dropped calls for peace of mind when talking to friends, family or
colleagues.
* Improved voice quality and less static or background noise when making
phone calls.
“With the network investments we made in 2012 and as the only national
wireless carrier to offer truly unlimited 4G LTE data plans, we continue to
offer better value than our competitors,” said Bob Azzi, senior vice
president-Network, Sprint. “But our commitment to an exceptional wireless
experience doesn't stop there. We are an aggressive path to complete the
rollout of Network Vision, and we expect to accelerate this momentum in 2013.”
Sprint introduced its all-new 4G LTE network in July 2012 and now offers
