Sprint Deploying LTE Services in 100 Cities Across the USA

Published on:

­USA based Sprint announced today that its LTE network build is under way in more than 100 additional cities within its existing nationwide 3G footprint. During the pre-launch phase, customers with capable LTE devices may begin to see 4G LTE coverage in these areas and will be able to use the network even before it officially launches.

Sprint plans to announce commercial availability of 4G LTE in these cities in the coming months, at which point they expect coverage, performance and reliability to get even better. Eventually, the markets will fill in until coverage largely matches the existing nationwide 3G footprint. By the end of 2013, Sprint expects to have completed the nationwide build out of the all new 3G and 4G network.

Currently, Sprint offers the new 4G LTE service in 19 metropolitan areas.

As part of its overall network strategy, Sprint is also doing a complete overhaul of its 3G infrastructure. These enhancements are now available to customers in several markets across the country, with significant deployment in Baltimore, Boston and Washington, D.C., and will continue to improve in the weeks and months ahead.

Sprint's Network Vision project expects to be largely complete with the all-new network by the end of 2013.
