Sprint outlined its plan for WiMax services and equipment on Wednesday. Not surprisingly, Sprint’s plans to sell WiMax service lines up identically with Clearwire’s WiMax deployment schedule.
” Sprint continues to lead the wireless industry by harnessing the power of WiMax [...] 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.” said Todd Rowley, vice president of Sprint 4G, in a statement.
This year, Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia and Portland will get WiMax . In 2010 the service will come to Boston, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. In the next two years, Sprint plans to launch multiple 4G devices including a single-mode 4G data card, devices embedded in laptops, a small-office/home-office broadband modem and also a tri-mode phone.
Sprint is pushing to expand its Wimax services before its rivals get going with networks based on Long Term Evolution technology.
