Sprint Nextel, the United States’ third largest mobile operator in terms of subscribers, has confirmed that its long-awaited Long Term Evolution (LTE) network will go live in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City and San Antonio on 15 July. Additional market launches are expected to be announced later this year, and by the end of 2013 Sprint aims to have largely completed its nationwide LTE rollout, covering around 250 million people. As part of its ongoing ‘Network Vision’ upgrade programme, Sprint initially plans to deploy LTE using its 1900MHz PCS spectrum, before refarming the 800MHz spectrum currently reserved for its iDEN services.*As previously reported by TeleGeography’s CommsUpdate, in April 2012 Sprint’s LTE network was soft-launched in Kankakee, a small town situated 60 miles south of Chicago
