| Sprint Upgrades Mobile Broadband Network in Boston Sprint has upgraded the Sprint Power Vision NetworkSM, the nation's largest wireless broadband network covering more than 170 million people, with the faster EV-DO Revision A technology in Boston. With the upgraded mobile broadband network, customers in Boston 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. Boston 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 Boston market will initially be concentrated at Logan Airport, downtown Boston, along the Interstate 95 corridor between Malden and Quincy, Interstate 90 to Waltham and in an around Framingham and Worcester where wireless data demand is highest, and will expand from there to include Sprint's entire market footprint. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
