Sprint has further expanded its 4G LTE network, giving it an advantage over the competition. Sprint, which also has the distinction of being the first national wireless carrier to introduce 4G services in 2008, announced the spread of its 4G LTE network to 15 cities surrounding the Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City and San Antonio markets. The network carrier also announced its plans to expand to the area around Waco, Texas, which is part of their Network Vision program.
"Sprint and our vendors have been deploying Network Vision sites all across the country for the last several months and we are thrilled to deliver our new network to our customers today in and around Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, San Antonio and Waco," said Bob Azzi, senior vice president-Network, Sprint. "This new network is performing extremely well and customers should find it consistent, reliable and really fast."
The Sprint 4G LTE coverage can be found in the following areas: Atlanta, Athens, Ga., Calhoun, Ga., Carrollton, Ga., Newnan, Ga., Rome, Ga., Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas, Granbury-Hood County, Texas, Houston, Huntsville, Texas, San Antonio, Texas, Waco, Texas, Kansas City, Mo.-Kan. And St. Joseph, Mo.
Sprint will also expand to additional 4G LTE markets in the second half of 2012. By the end of 2013, Sprint expects to have largely completed the build out of its all-new 4G LTE nationwide network. Sprint reiterates its commitment to building a new and nationwide 3G and 4G LTE network through the Network Vision program and promises enhanced signal strength, less dropped/blocked calls, faster data speeds, expanded coverage and better overall performance.
For the uninitiated, the International Telecommunications Union-Radio communications sector specified a set of requirements for 4G standards, setting peak speed requirements for 4G services at 100 megabits per second (Mbit/s) for high mobility communication and one gigabit per second (Gbit/s) for low mobility communication. Sprint's Everything Data plan with Any Mobile, Anytime includes unlimited data, texting and calling, starting at $79.99 per month for smartphones.
