MINNEAPOLIS -- (Business Wire)
Sprint
(NYSE:S) today announced that its all-new network in Minneapolis and St.
Paul received a first-place RootScore® Award for text
performance and a shared first-place ranking in call performance,
according to a recent report by independent mobile analytics firm
RootMetrics®.
“We have been working hard to improve performance and we will continue
to invest in our Minnesota network,” said Joe Meyer, vice president of
Sprint Network Performance. “We’re pleased to see these outstanding
results, and now with our new pricing plans, there’s never been a better
time to switch to America’s Newest Network.”
Sprint has been building an all-new network in the Twin Cities and
surrounding areas. As part of the overhaul, the company has transformed
its network to deliver faster data speeds than before, along with
improved call quality. Network improvements include:
-
4G LTE for faster, more reliable data delivering peak wireless speeds
of 25Mbps.
-
Stronger in-building coverage using 800MHz low frequency spectrum.
-
HD Voice, a new Sprint standard for crystal-clear voice calls
providing a fuller, more natural-sounding voice on enabled devices,
plus noise reduction technology that virtually eliminates background
noise from places like a busy road or crowded restaurant.
Sprint will continue to invest in its Twin Cities network by
implementing new technologies and techniques to make the network even
more efficient and deliver improved performance and faster data speeds. Sprint
Spark, an enhanced LTE service that’s built for data, is currently
being deployed in the Twin Cities and some customers may already be
experiencing peak wireless speeds of 50-60Mbps on capable devices.
Speeds are expected to increase even further over time.
Best Value in Wireless
In addition to offering an all-new network, Sprint is also committed to
providing U.S. consumers and businesses the best value in wireless, with
plans that include double the data compared to AT&T and Verizon Wireless
at the same or lower monthly price. With the Sprint
Family Share Pack, Sprint offers double the sharable data1
for smartphones, basic phones, tablets and mobile broadband devices.
Sprint also offers customers unlimited talk, text and data for $60 per
month with the Sprint $60 Unlimited Plan – a $20 savings per month
compared to T-Mobile’s $80 unlimited plan2. In addition, Sprint
Business Share plans are available for any mobile device and offer
the flexibility for businesses to select data plans at competitive
prices for almost any data need, up to 400GB for up to 100 lines.
