| Sprint Launches Faster Mobile Broadband Network in Hartford Sprint has upgraded the Sprint Power Vision Network, the nation's largest wireless broadband network covering more than 170 million people, with the faster EV-DO Revision A technology in the Hartford market. With the upgraded mobile broadband network, customers in Hartford will ultimately be able to utilize richer applications and services such as high-speed video telephony, music on demand, video messaging and large file uploads. Hartford is among the first 21 markets where Sprint will roll out EV-DO Revision A this year with coverage expected to reach more than 40 million people. Sprint Power Vision users in these markets should experience significantly faster average upload speeds of 300-400 kbps (compared with 50-70 kbps of current EV-DO networks). Average download speeds should also increase to 450–800 kbps from 400-700 kbps. The upgraded EV-DO Revision A coverage in the Hartford market will initially be concentrated along the Interstate 91 corridor from downtown Hartford to Bradley International Airport and in and around Greenwich, New Haven and Norwich where wireless data demand is highest. It will expand from there to include Sprint's entire market footprint. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
