Today Sprint is launching WiMax in Portland, Las Vegas and Atlanta.
Customers in these areas are able to purchase laptop dongles to connect to the network.
Sprint’s WiMax services are already available in Baltimore. These cities are four of the nine in which Sprint will launch WiMax by the end of 2009.
Download speeds can reach over 10 Mbps with an average of 3 to 6 Mbps. Monthly subscriptions rates are $25 for a fixed connection, $30 for a mobile connection and $50 for both.
Clearwire and Comcast have already launched WiMax in these cities, so Sprint will focus its services on businesses.
Sprint has also recently added 17 new markets to its WiMax launch plans, including Boise, Corpus Christi and Maui.
