14 DAY TRIAL // As expected, major carrier Sprint has just launched 4G LTE network in 15 cities. One of the first US-based operators to introduce 4G services in 2008, Sprint is now offering customers the advantages of its new 4G LTE network.
For the time being, there are 15 cities surrounding the Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City and San Antonio markets, which will be able to benefit from 4G LTE services.
Furthermore, given the “accelerated build schedule for the Network Vision program,” the carrier plans to launch a 4G LTE network for residents in and around Waco, Texas.
Starting today, Sprint will offer 4G LTE coverage in the following areas, though more locations will be added in the coming months: 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.
As we mentioned earlier, Sprint plans to launch additional 4G LTE markets in the second half of 2012, but more details about these markets will be announced in the near future.
Sprint has already launched several 4G LTE devices such as HTC EVO 4G LTE, LG Viper 4G LTE, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S III and Sierra Wireless 4G LTE Tri-Fi Hotspot. Customers can pair any of these 4G LTE devices with Sprint’s Everything Data plans. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
“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. This new network is performing extremely well and customers should find it consistent, reliable and really fast,” said Bob Azzi, senior vice president – Network, Sprint.
