Sprint upgrades its 3G wireless network Bernard Cole Overland Park, Kan. -- As part of its Network Vision program, Sprint doubled its 2011 capital investment over 2010 to make tens of thousands of capacity upgrades, and will continue the process well into 2012. As a result of the network improvements across the country, voice service is enhanced and Sprint customers can expect to see better performance on their smartphones, mobile broadband connection cards and mobile hotspots when using the Sprint 3G network. Performance improvements include: * Faster data speeds that enable instant web access for news updates, HD viewing and game-playing, quicker video downloads and clear video chats * Better signal strength when making a call or using the web * Fewer dropped calls for peace of mind when talking to friends, family or colleagues “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. It is on track to offer LTE devices by mid-year 2012 and complete the majority of its Network Vision rollout in 2013. Sprint expects to make additional announcements about the timing of LTE markets and devices early next year. Network Vision is planned to consolidate multiple network technologies into one seamless network with the goal of increasing efficiency and enhancing network coverage, call quality and data speeds for customers.
