BOSTON -- (Business Wire)
Today Sprint customers in Boston can enjoy expanded wireless service
along much of their commute in the MBTA.
Sprint has expanded its network coverage to include all 35 underground
MBTA stations and 19.5 miles of tunnel on the Red, Blue, Green and
Orange lines. The Silver Line and Back Bay Station are part of a planned
future expansion. Last spring, Sprint partnered with InSite
Wireless Group, a Virginia-based technology company that installed
the wireless infrastructure to enable connectivity on all MBTA platforms
and tunnels.
According to the MBTA, the number of passenger trips topped the 37
million mark in October 2014 for the first time in the transit agency’s
history. With Sprint’s new system, these passengers can now use their
favorite devices to conduct business, get caught up on the day’s events,
and communicate with friends and family.
“Our teams have been working to improve and expand service throughout
Boston and connectivity in the MBTA stations and tunnels is an important
part of our commitment to our customers,” said Joe Meyer, vice president
of Sprint Network Performance. “Network improvements, along with our new
pricing plans offering the best value in wireless, make this a great
time to give Sprint a try.”
In the past three years, Sprint has invested more than $345 million in
its Boston network aimed at delivering a more consistent and reliable
customer experience than before. Network improvements include:
-
4G LTE for faster, more reliable data delivering peak wireless speeds
of 50-60Mbps.
-
HD Voice, a new Sprint standard for crystal-clear voice calls
providing a fuller, more natural-sounding voice on capable devices,
plus noise reduction technology that virtually eliminates background
noise from places like a busy road or crowded restaurant.
-
Stronger in-building service using 800MHz low frequency spectrum.
Looking ahead, Sprint will continue to invest in its Boston network by
implementing new technologies and techniques to make the network more
efficient and deliver improved performance and faster data speeds.
Best Value in Wireless
In addition to offering expanded service, Sprint is also committed to
providing Boston consumers and businesses the best value in wireless.
