When 3G services were launched, people were excited about its prospects. Everybody was talking about the fast speeds it will offer. Biggies like Apple, BlackBerry and more released their 3G enabled mobile phones with much fanfare.
There still many places where 3G network has not been enabled. But technology knows no bounds and speed. Sprint, which operates the third largest wireless telecommunications network in the United States, has announced that they will be expanding their Wimax based 4G network to new markets including Atlanta, Honolulu, Charlotte, Las Vegas, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Portland, Fort Worth and Seattle. What is more, Sprint also expects to launch service in multiple markets in 2010 including Boston, Houston, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. 4G allows customers to access cable broadband like speeds wirelessly enabling a mind boggling speed of 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s speeds.
By 2009 and 2010, the company is planning for several 4G enabled devices like a single-mode 4G data card, embedded laptops, a small-office-home-office broadband modem and a tri-mode phone. It is worth noting that Sprint launched 4G services in Baltimore in September 2008. Later, the company launched the first dual-mode 3G/4G device in December. Here is a part of press release by the company.
"Sprint continues to lead the wireless industry by harnessing the power of WiMAX" said Todd Rowley, vice president of Sprint 4G. "The availability of Sprint 4G in more places this year and our aggressive expansion of Sprint 4G service demonstrates our commitment to provide 4G capabilities and devices nationwide for our business, consumer and government customers. These capabilities enable significantly enhanced performance and productivity for our customers."
Seems like a new round of innovation is in the offing as companies AT&T and Apple will not want to remain behind.
