Sprint announces next US markets to get Sprint 4G

31 Mar 2009

With the roll-out of 4G to another batch of US markets, Sprint is able to offer mobile broadband three to five times faster than any carrier's 3G service.

Sprint plans to deploy Sprint 4G service in 2009 to Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Ft Worth, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Portland and Seattle, and also expects to launch service in 2010 in Boston, Houston, New York, San Francisco and Washington DC.

The new 4G devices planned for 2009 and 2010 include a single-mode 4G data card, embedded laptops, a small-office-home-office broadband modem and a tri-mode phone.

Sprint launched 4G in Baltimore in September 2008, and then launched the first dual-mode 3G/4G device in December.
