Faster Sprint Mobile Broadband In The Twin Cities

Whether in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Maple Grove or Burnsville, Sprint (NYSE: S) customers throughout the Twin Cities 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 the Twin Cities. Coverage of EV-DO Rev A will include the majority of the Twin Cities market where the Sprint Mobile Broadband Network (EV-DO) currently exists, basically extending east to west from New Richmond, Wis., to Howard Lake; and north to south from North Branch to Northfield. 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 the Twin Cities 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 Rob Bryant, Sprint area vice president. “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 $43 million that Sprint spent in Minnesota in 2006. Sprint is committed to letting our customers do more with wireless.”
