Sprint’s super-fast LTE Plus Network now reaches 191 markets,
including The Big Apple
Sprint (NYSE:S) customers across the New York Metropolitan Area
are now experiencing faster, stronger, more reliable service with
the availability of Sprint’s LTE Plus Network. LTE Plus, now
available in New York City and 190 other markets across the
country, takes advantage of Sprint’s rich triband spectrum
portfolio and uses some of the world’s most advanced technologies
in wireless.
Since the beginning of the year, Sprint doubled the speed and
capacity of more than 900 2.5GHz cell sites across the New York
Metropolitan Area with the deployment of two-channel carrier
aggregation. Carrier aggregation, a feature of LTE Plus, creates a
wider lane that allows more network traffic to travel at higher
rates, enabling Sprint to provide customers with even faster data
speeds.
With Sprint LTE Plus, New Yorkers and customers throughout the
five boroughs will experience faster speeds than before while
surfing the Web at Chelsea Piers, sending panoramic city views from
the One World Trade Center observation deck, or live streaming
video from a concert at the Barclays Center. In fact, according to
Sprint’s analysis of Nielsen Mobile Performance data, Sprint now
delivers the fastest LTE download speeds in New York.1
“There’s no better proving ground for our network than New
York,” said Günther Ottendorfer, Sprint Chief Operating Officer,
Technology. “In the past few months we made tremendous improvements
across the entire metropolitan area, and we’re committed to
providing The City That Never Sleeps with an exceptional wireless
experience.”
Within the past six months, Sprint has added or upgraded service
at several popular locations such as Rockefeller Center, the 9/11
Memorial, Jacob Javits Center, JFK International Airport, and The
Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Sprint continues to lead with
more stations on air to-date than any other carrier. Sprint is
contracted to complete all seven phases of 279 underground stations
in the New York City subway project. Sprint will be deploying 4G
LTE to all underground stations and service will be ready for
customers in 2017.
In addition to improving service in key venues, Sprint has
relentlessly focused on expanding and fine-tuning the network
across New York and New Jersey. Network performance has continued
to improve with the addition of new cell sites, increased coverage
and capacity, and systematic optimization of each cell site to
maximize LTE Plus performance. Key LTE Plus benefits include:
- Faster service with double the network
capacity and speed, and peak speeds in excess of 100Mbps on capable
devices
- Stronger service with smart antenna
technology that extends the cell signal further at 2.5GHz
- More reliable service utilizing three
bands of spectrum – 1.9GHz for broad coverage, 800MHz for better
indoor service, and 2.5GHz for even faster data speeds
“Our 2.5GHz spectrum excels at moving high volumes of data at
very fast speeds. And our deep 2.5GHz holdings give us more
capacity than any other carrier in the U.S.,” said Dr. John Saw,
Sprint CTO. “This is a tremendous advantage, allowing us to keep
adding the capacity and speed needed to serve New Yorker’s demand
for data now and well into the future.”
