Sprint 4G roll out

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 25, 2009-- Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced the next markets in the national Sprint 4G roll out. Sprint, the first national carrier to test, launch and market 4G technology, is extending its 4G leadership by launching the next- generation service across the country. Sprint 4G offers turbo-charged mobile broadband – peak downlink speeds of up to 12 Mbps in Baltimore today and average downlink speeds of 2-4 Mbps – three to five times faster than today’s 3G service from any carrier.
Sprint plans to deploy Sprint 4G service in many markets in 2009, including:
Atlanta Honolulu Charlotte Las Vegas Chicago Philadelphia Dallas Portland Fort Worth Seattle
Sprint also expects to launch service in multiple markets in 2010 including Boston, Houston, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
In addition to the ongoing market roll outs of 4G service across the country, Sprint has several new 4G devices planned for 2009 and 2010, including a single-mode 4G data card, embedded laptops, a small-office-home-office broadband modem and a tri-mode phone. Sprint was the first wireless carrier to offer access to both 3G and 4G networks on one device – the 3G/4G USB Modem U300.

Read the rest of the news release.

Re: Sprint 4G roll out

Will this only work on Sprint's 4G modem, or will it work on our existing phones?

Re: Sprint 4G roll out

They mention new devices for 2009 and 2010 in the article but the only devices that are available now are Sprint's 3g/4g USB modems. I would like to see a PPC with this kind of speed.

Re: Sprint 4G roll out

Woohoo! Dallas will be one of the first, if not THE first since there is already a 4G network here, it's just closed to the public for the time being.
