It’s likely you’ve seen a lot more talk about 4G lately, as others begin to advertise what Sprint has been doing for over two years now – providing you with a real 4G mobile internet experience, like you expect at home or in the office, but on the go.
While everyone’s 4G and “4G-like” claims can be confusing, what really matters hasn’t changed – and that’s what Sprint customers can do with 4G from Sprint. As the first national carrier to launch a 4G network and the first to provide 3G/4G phones, mobile hotspots and computers with both 3G and 4G inside, Sprint is leading a revolution in wireless – a generational leap from one level of technology to another.
Why will Sprint continue to be your best choice for 4G?
- EXPERIENCE: Sprint offers a proven 4G experience compared to other carriers who are just getting started. Sprint 4G covered over 70 markets and roughly 120 million POPS as of the end of 2010, and we’ll continue to expand across the U.S.
- DEVICES: Sprint offers nearly a dozen 4G devices – 2 award winning 3G/4G phones: HTC EVO™ 4G and Samsung Epic™ 4G, the Overdrive™ 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot by Sierra Wireless, and an embedded 3G/4G notebook and 3G/4G netbook.
- VALUE: Among the top four carriers, only Sprint offers unlimited 4G plans, at an affordable price.
- NETWORK: We have more spectrum than any other national carrier for rolling out 4G. What does that mean? The Sprint 4G network will continue to offer you a strong, fast, dependable 4G experience even when the network has millions more users.
- 4G FOR BUSINESS: Nobody knows business like Sprint.

Our 4G leadership has resulted in partnerships with companies such as Calgary Scientific to introduce first of its kind mobile medical imaging solutions to healthcare providers, helping propel the use of mobile devices in medical specialties. And for our public sector customers: after installing video surveillance units powered by Sprint 4G, the DeKalb County Police Department were better able to handle critical response situations – because with Sprint 4G, you can really see all the necessary details. Industries as diverse as broadcasting, healthcare, education, retail and transportation are benefitting from solutions enabled by 4G. In an economy where we’re all watching expenses, Sprint 4G is playing a key role in saving these companies time and money.
So, regardless of what others may say about technology platforms, megabytes and maps, at Sprint, we will continue to leverage our network expertise and our award-winning innovations to help you discover how to make your life or your business even better with 4G.
