it easier for wireless shoppers to save with Sprint’s industry-leading
value for unlimited data, talk and text,” said Tim Donahue, Sprint
Regional President for the Midwest. “With our continued network
improvements and charitable efforts like the 1Million
Project, Sprint continually seeks opportunities to give back locally

Solid Network Performance
Sprint continues to improve its network coverage throughout the Midwest
region. In the Twin Cities, Sprint has been added to the Distributed
Antenna System (DAS) at Xcel Energy Center, and is currently improving
coverage at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and the Winter Park Practice
Facility. In Kansas City, Sprint has made speed and capacity
improvements at Arrowhead Stadium, Children’s Mercy Park, Kaufman
Stadium, and the Sprint Center. Due to its vast spectrum holdings,
Sprint is adding more network capacity in cities across the Midwest
region, including rural locations. Creative new concepts such as the
Sprint Magic
Box also help provide a more customized solution for additional
boosts in speed.
“Total wireless data usage has grown, on average, more than 1,000
percent over the last three years throughout the Midwest region,” said
Scott Santi, regional vice president – Network at Sprint. “Over the last
five years, Sprint has invested well over $1.2 billion in our Midwest
network, taking advantage of our rich spectrum holdings to add speed and
capacity, ensuring consumers are able to enjoy their experience now and
in the future as the demand for data continues to grow.”
Active in the Local Community
Donahue, who was recently selected to lead Sprint’s newly created
Midwest region, is actively engaged in the local community. In May, he
was appointed as a sitting board member of KC Rising and the Downtown
Council. Additionally, he serves as a board member on the Greater Kansas
City Chamber of Commerce and participates with the Kansas City Area
Development Council board. Donahue also volunteers his time with
DeLaSalle Education Center in downtown Kansas City and PREP-KC, which
are both focused on inner-city, under-privileged youth education.
