Sprint 4G Rockets Into Houston and Declares Texas "Biggest 4G State"
HOUSTON, Mar 29, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --Blasting into Texas at lightning speed, Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced the launch of 4G in the Lone Star state's biggest city: Houston. The next generation of wireless, also known as 4G, provides fast mobile downloads, streaming video and Web browsing at turbo-speed and delivers downloads that are faster than any wireless broadband service currently being offered by AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile.
With today's launch, Sprint makes Texas the "biggest 4G state" in
terms
of the number of people who have access to the Sprint mobile
network. In
addition to Houston, the 4G network is currently operating in
Abilene,
Amarillo, Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort Worth,
Killeen/Temple,
Lubbock, Midland/Odessa, San Antonio, Waco and Wichita Falls.
Nationwide, Sprint boasts 28 markets that have 4G capability
today.
Unlike competitors who are running high-speed mobile broadband trials
in
laboratories, Sprint is the first national wireless carrier to
launch 4G
technology. Sprint delivers 4G to consumers and businesses, and
Sprint's
4G powered products, such as Overdrive (TM) 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot,
USB Modem
and USB Mobile Broadband, make any online experience better by
enabling
users to stream video, download files and browse the Web at
download
speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G1.
Texans will be able to enjoy the capabilities of the recently
announced
HTC EVO 4G - the world's first 3G/4G Android phone (available
later in
2010). The HTC EVO 4G provides a superior and robust multimedia
experience. It is a hotspot and a phone, making it possible to
download
music, pictures, videos in seconds - not minutes - and watch
streaming
video on-the-go.
"Today, we flipped the switch to make fast mobile broadband even
faster
for Houston," said John Stevens, Southwest regional vice
president,
Sprint. "Customers will discover that 4G technology allows all
kinds of
new possibilities for Internet-on-the-go - streaming video, online
gaming, videoconferencing. There is nothing else like the 4G
experience
from any other wireless carrier and now Texas is number one in 4G
connectivity."
In 2010, Sprint will launch many more markets, and is expected to
cover
up to 120 million people with Sprint 4G service, and will
introduce
several 4G devices, including a single-mode 4G data card and
embedded
laptops. View 4G coverage for all Sprint 4G markets at 3Gstore.com/coverage
