Sprint Enhances 3G Network Coverage In Eastern Michigan

Stock quotes in this article: S 

It’s March in Michigan, which means several things for this sports-loving state: Both the Spartans and the Wolverines are about to begin post-season basketball play; college hockey teams are driving on a “Road to The Joe” and baseball’s opening day is just weeks away. Now Sprint (NYSE: S) customers in eastern Michigan can easily follow their favorite teams thanks in part to Sprint’s recent 3G capacity upgrades.

In the past 90 days, Sprint has implemented 85 network capacity upgrades in eastern Michigan, with 190 scheduled for the next 90 days. Whether it’s Wayne, Oakland, Genesee or Washtenaw counties, Sprint customers in eastern Michigan should expect faster data speeds, fewer dropped calls and confidence that Sprint is committed to investing in Michigan and keeping pace with the ever-increasing demand for data.

So what exactly do these upgrades mean for customers? It means an easier and worry-free wireless experience. Want to catch the latest news on Detroit’s favorite baseball team?

Over the past year, eastern Michigan has seen its Sprint 3G coverage increase by 14 percent, resulting in an improved wireless experience, including voice, data and in-building solutions. These enhancements to the Sprint 3G network also should serve to bolster performance of the company’s no-contract brands, including devices operating on the Sprint network from Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile USA.

“Sprint has a strong and solid presence in Michigan,” said Kimberly Green-Kerr, regional vice president, business sales. “Not only do we employ hundreds of people throughout the state, but we’ve taken a leadership position with our connected transportation initiatives. The 3G network enhancements only serve to solidify our substantial investment in Michigan.”
