extensive network upgrades in Detroit’s downtown area to improve
the fan experience. The company recently implemented dozens of new
small cell sites throughout the area to expand coverage and
increase network capacity. In other words, local Sprint wireless
customers now can make the most of game days, sending photos and
streaming video during times of peak network usage.

In addition to deploying some of the most advanced technologies
in wireless, Sprint is focused on expanding and fine-tuning the
network in Detroit. In the past year, the company added new cell
sites, increased its coverage and capacity, and systematically
optimized each cell site to maximize performance. Sprint also
improved service and upgraded the wireless systems at Comerica
Park, MGM Grand, Ford Field, Cobo Hall, and at the Detroit Athletic
Club.
“Just like the city of Detroit, Sprint is the comeback kid in
wireless,” said Scott Santi, Sprint Vice President for Network.
“The greater downtown area is seeing an incredible revitalization
and Sprint has rebuilt its network and continues to grow right
alongside of the city. We believe in Detroit and our network
investment is our commitment to keep pace with consumers’
increasing need for reliability, speed and overall better
coverage.”
Sprint has invested hundreds of millions of dollars over the
last five years improving Detroit’s wireless network. Within the
next six months, Sprint has plans to continue adding hundreds of
new cell sites in Detroit and across Southeast Michigan.
