Sprint Adds Boston, Chicago, LA, and NYC to LTE List
Sep 10, 2012, 9:20 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Sprint today announced a forthcoming expansion of its LTE 4G network that includes some of the country's largest markets. Sprint said that in the coming months, it will offer LTE to more than 100 markets across the U.S., such as Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City, among many others. Sprint said that it has already begun work on switching to LTE in these and other markets, so Sprint subscribers who own LTE-capable devices may see service come and go while the network upgrades are completed. In addition to the new cities gaining access to LTE, Sprint also said that it continues to upgrade its CDMA 3G network in markets around the country. Sprint believes its Network Vision project, which will be completed by the end of 2013, will offer vastly improved 3G/4G service for its customers. Sprint will announce official launch dates for the new LTE 4G markets as they arrive.
