Sprint converts its network to LTE, plans 'aggressive rollout' to be completed by 2013




knew more or less such an announcement was coming. In July, Dan Hesse had bothered face to face with the promise of a "big story this fall on 4G", and now the time to tell this story has come. In your case, the strategy today, Sprint finally released plans to "simplify their network," by converting their assets 1900MHz and 1600MHz spectrum LightSquared ("pending the approval of the FCC") for LTE, a favorite in the industry. Help operators make the transition is the 800 MHz band spectrum is recovered from the deceased, iDEN Push-to-talk network - that was a waste of company resources. This spectrum, acquired from Nextel, will be eliminated by mid-2013 and put in LTE. The company plans for rapid deployment of 4G network, with the first LTE terminal market and strike in mid-2012 and full deployment for the most complete in 2013. Current subscribers enrolled in the plans of WiMAX will not have to worry that their devices will continue to be sustained throughout 2012.

Starting tomorrow, Sprint, consolidating its 4G (including LightSquared) LTE, 3G and Direct Connect networks in a single architecture. All major technical milestones, such as calls for testing and integration of land were cleared obstacles and work on more than 22,000 cell sites are currently underway. Samsung, Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson have partnered with Sprint to install multimode 3G and 4G base stations to handle the future traffic on the network, essential for the deployment of the multitude of frequencies required for devices hosted. Future users of the iPhone 4S in the network will be able to harness the power of the voice signal and improved best service Sprint intends to dispose of it as 800 MHz.
