Sprint today announced a significant expansion of its LTE 4G network. The company launched service in 45 new markets today.
Notably, Sprint’s LTE network is now available in all of New York City, adding the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Other major markets that now have access to Sprint’s LTE network include Santa Ana and Anaheim, Calif.; Pensacola and Tallahassee, Fla.; Lexington, Ky.; and Spokane, Wash. According to Sprint, its LTE network now reaches 230 markets, though the company didn’t say how many POPs are covered. In addition to LTE, Sprint has improved its CDMA-based network in many of the same markets.
Sprint and T-Mobile trail AT&T and Verizon in terms of LTE coverage, but are catching up.
