Sprint Unveils LTE Plus In New York City

Sprint Corp S unveiled LTE Plus in New York City. As a result, its customers could experience a faster, stronger and more reliable service. According to the company, LTE Plus network is available in 190 other markets across the nation and takes advantage of the company's rich triband spectrum portfolio. Also, the company uses some of the most advanced technologies in the world in respect of wireless.

Sprint said it doubled the speed, as well as the capacity of over 900 2.5GHz cell sites across the New York Metropolitan Area since the beginning of the current year with the deployment of two-channel carrier aggregation. The telecom service provider said that carrier aggregation, which is a feature of LTE Plus, created a wider lane enabling more network traffic to travel at a rapid pace allowing the company to offer its customers with even faster data speeds.

The company's COO, Gunther Ottendorfer, commented, "There's no better proving ground for our network than New York". He added further that "In the past few months we made tremendous improvements across the entire metropolitan area, and we're committed to providing The City That Never Sleeps with an exceptional wireless experience."

On Thursday, the stock closed at $3.50.
