CHICAGO -- (Business Wire)
Sprint today announced that its network in Chicago received shared 1st
place rankings for overall performance, network reliability, call
performance and text performance, according to a new
RootScore® Report by independent mobile
analytics firm RootMetrics®.
This marks the first time Sprint has won or shared the overall RootScore
award in Chicago. Sprint also shares the Call Performance RootScore
award for the second consecutive test period and shares the Text
Performance RootScore award for the fourth consecutive test period in
Chicago.
“Our Chicago network gets better every day as we work to deliver the
consistent reliability, capacity, and speed that our customers demand,”
said Jim Mills, Sprint president of Illinois and Wisconsin. “We’re
pleased with these latest results for overall performance, and we’re
laser-focused on keeping our #1 status as we further invest in our
Chicago network.”
RootMetrics drove a total of 5,444 miles and conducted 82,057 tests in
Chicago. During testing RootMetrics was able to experience Sprint’s
carrier aggregation technology on the 2.5GHz spectrum band. This feature
of Sprint’s super-fast LTE
Plus Network creates a wider lane that allows more network traffic
to travel at higher rates, enabling Sprint to provide Chicago customers
with even faster data speeds.
In addition to deploying some of the most advanced technologies in
wireless, Sprint has relentlessly focused on expanding and fine-tuning
the network in Chicago. In the past year, the company added new cell
sites, increased its coverage and capacity, and systematically optimized
each cell site to maximize performance. Sprint also improved service and
upgraded the wireless systems at Chicago Transit Authority, O’Hare
Airport, Soldier Field and United Center.
