Sprint brings LTE to 45 more cities, continues slow rollout in NYC

In the race to deploy LTE networks nationwide, Sprint is in last place. It’s now covering 230 cities and towns, but there are still some big metropolitan holes in its footprint.

Sprint unveiled a batch of 45 new markets now covered by its LTE network. As has become Sprint’s custom, it focused on smaller cities and towns while leaving major metropolitan cities -- like San Francisco, Seattle and Washington -- untouched. But Sprint did expand its mobile broadband coverage in New York City beyond Brooklyn and the Bronx, turning on LTE signals in parts of the Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. With an expanding all-new 4G network across the country plus the groundbreaking Sprint Unlimited Guarantee, business people, first responders, public safety officials and consumers can get unlimited talk, text and data while on the Sprint network guaranteed for the life of the line of service.
