Sprint’s 4G LTE service expands to 70 new markets

Sprint has rolled out 4G LTE service in 70 new markets this month. While still lagging behind Verizon and AT&T in regards to total coverage within North America, the addition of major markets like San Diego, St. Louis and Orlando as well as many other areas will potentially help Sprint regain market share around the United States. 

This year Sprint (NYSE: S) set the stage for a dynamic 2014 with significant network improvements on behalf of its business customers and consumers. The company’s achievements were punctuated by the launch of Sprint Spark™, a network capability that uses three spectrum frequencies to deliver peak 4G LTE wireless data speeds of 50-60Mbps. Sprint Spark is also expected to deliver significantly improved call quality and clarity as it rolls out HD Voice.
