C Spire Wireless has announced a forthcoming expansion of its LTE 4G footprint that will see coverage extended to a half million POPs across Mississippi.
According to C Spire, the expansion will begin in August and wrap up in November. When complete, 205 new cell sites will provide LTE 4G coverage to 71 new cities across 51 counties. Further, C Spire plans to expand its existing 4G LTE service in 21 cities and 6 counties in southern Alabama and along the Florida panhandle by the end of the year.
C Spire already operates LTE in 37 Mississippi markets, covering some 1.2 million POPs. Earlier this year, C Spire inked a nationwide LTE roaming agreement with Sprint.
