CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -- (Business Wire)
Independent mobile analytics firm RootMetrics® has just
released a new RootScore® Report showing Sprint now has the
fastest mobile network in Corpus Christi, with a #1 ranking in network
speed and data performance. In addition, the new analysis shows Sprint
in a dead heat tying for 1st place in overall, call and text
network performance.
This is the first time Sprint has received an outright win for network
speed in Corpus Christi. This report marks the sixth time RootMetrics
has tested Corpus Christi, with the last test occurring in January 2015.
“This coastal community is an amazing place to live and work, and we’re
proud to provide our customers with the fastest mobile network,” said
Marcelo Claure, Sprint CEO. “Making sure Corpus Christi has an
exceptional network is our #1 priority and there’s never been a better
time to join Sprint.”
Fastest Network in Corpus Christi
RootMetrics drove a total of 1,109 miles and conducted 16,229 tests in
Corpus Christi. During testing Sprint had the fastest median download
speed at 22Mbps, up from 3.3Mbps in the previous report, and RootMetrics
was able to experience Sprint’s newly deployed carrier aggregation
technology on the 2.5GHz spectrum band. This feature of LTE-Advanced
essentially creates a wider lane that allows more network traffic to
travel at higher rates, enabling Sprint to provide Corpus Christi
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 Corpus Christi. In the past year, the company added
2.5GHz service to 45 new cell sites, and increased its 1.9GHz 4G LTE
coverage. Sprint’s network teams then systematically optimized each cell
site to maximize overall performance, coverage, capacity and speed.
Sprint has also improved service and upgraded the wireless systems in
high-traffic areas such as USS Lexington, The Art Museum of South Texas,
Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, Texas A&M University
Corpus Christi, Texas State Aquarium, Corpus Christi International
Airport, La Palmera Mall, Moore Plaza Mall, Sunrise Mall, Gulf Coast
Racing Park and Padre Island. The company also brought in additional
network capacity to support the Spring Break event on Mustang Island and
North Beach.
“Wireless connectivity drives economic and civic progress,” said Dr.
John Saw, Sprint CTO. “We’re pleased to give Corpus Christi the fastest
wireless network, one that fully enables entertainment, communication
and collaboration across the community.”
