Sprint launched a major expansion of its 4G LTE coverage, the wireless carrier announced Tuesday.
Sprint rolled out it’s high-speed service in 45 new markets, bringing its total coverage to 230 markets. Sprint’s rollout included parts of Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island, which finally brings its 4G LTE coverage to all five boroughs of New York. Other areas to see LTE access turned on include Abilene, Texas, Naples, Fla., and Red Bluff, Calif.
Sprint has been slow to expand its 4G LTE coverage as it works to overhaul its wireless network. With Tuesday’s expansion, the carrier comes a long way in the ongoing race for LTE coverage around the US.
