Faster Sprint Mobile Broadband In Numerous Cities

Whether in the Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio or Dallas/Fort Worth, Sprint (NYSE: S) customers in Texas can do more with wireless thanks to a faster mobile broadband network. With Sprint’s newest (EV-DO Revision A) technology, along with a wide variety of devices, customers can check and send email with large file attachments, download music and access robust location-based solutions.

Sprint took a big step forward this month by upgrading its network in more than two dozen markets across the country, including cities throughout Texas including Austin, Corpus Christi, Houston, Temple/Killeen, Victoria, Waco and surrounding cities and suburbs. Sprint now reaches more than 193 million people in over 9,600 cities and covers 880 airports with its faster mobile broadband technology (EV-DO Rev. A) and is on track to upgrade the vast majority of its mobile broadband network to the faster technology by year-end.

“Customers in many cities throughout Texas can experience the nation’s largest mobile broadband network in more places with faster speeds than ever before, and we aren’t finished improving the customer experience,” said Mike Karageorge, area vice president for Sprint. “This year, Sprint is continuing investments to enhance its powerful networks and expand mobile broadband coverage across the nation. That’s on top of the more than $234 million that Sprint spent in Texas in 2006. Sprint is committed to letting our customers do more with wireless.”
