14 DAY TRIAL // Sprint is making significant steps forward in its pursuit to provide users with a great experience when on its network, whether it comes to making calls or transferring data.
As part of the company’s Network Vision, there have been capacity upgrades, which were aimed at meeting the great increase in usage that Smartphones brought along.
The carrier managed to improve its voice services all around the country through constant network upgrades. Users benefit from better performance when connecting all kind of devices to the carrier’s airwaves.
Some of the improvements that Sprint touts for its users include faster data speeds, which means that HD viewing and game-playing are at hand, along with better signal strength when making calls, as well as a smaller number of dropped calls.
“With the network investments we made in 2011 and as the only national wireless carrier to offer truly unlimited data plans while on the Sprint network, we continue to offer better value than Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T.” said Bob Azzi, SVP – Network, Sprint.
Moving forth, Sprint plans on providing users with 4G services based on LTE technology, and should have the first devices available for purchase by mid-2012.
The carrier is also set to further enhance its network in the coming year, to accelerate momentum. It will continue to roll out Network Vision, based on the large number of achievements it can list for 2011.
Some of the latest milestones in the operator’s network development program include:
- Completed development and integration of back-office systems to support the new base stations to ensure a seamless rollout - Finished lab testing of all components of the Network Vision platform, eliminating most technical risks of the program and validating rapid LTE deployment schedule - Launched Sprint Direct Connect on CDMA and introduced three devices, allowing our iDEN customers to move to a truly mobile data experience with a comparable platinum push-to-talk experience - Launched first multi-modal base station in Branchburg, N.J., and validated improved 3G data performance metrics, such as voice quality, drops and blocks and data speeds - Launched first cluster of cell sites in Kankakee, Ill. and completing field integration testing
