Sprint Rolling Out 4G LTE Network to 100 Cities

Sprint announced on Monday that it will be expanding its 4G LTE network to more than 100 cities in the upcoming months.
The company — which began its 4G LTE network rollout with 15 cities in July 2012 — will be adding the service to more major areas including Chicago, Boston, New York City and Los Angeles. Smaller cities such as Rockford, Ill. and Salisbury, Md. will also be getting the network.
4G LTE is about ten times faster than 3G, allowing mobile users to load websites more seamlessly.
Sprint said construction has already started within those regions. For a full list of which cities are scheduled to get the network, click here.


“During the pre-launch phase, customers with capable 4G LTE devices may begin to see 4G LTE coverage in these areas and are welcome to use the network even before it officially launches,” Sprint said in a statement. “Sprint plans to announce commercial availability of 4G LTE in these cities in the coming months, at which point we expect coverage, performance and reliability to get even better.”
The company is also doing an overhaul of its 3G infrastructure to improve wireless signal strength, in-building coverage and less dropped calls.
“We know our customers depend on their mobile devices as their primary source of communication, business connectivity and entertainment,” said Bob Azzi, senior vice president of network at Sprint. “We want to deliver a network that delivers mobile access, productivity and entertainment at a highly competitive price point.”
