Sprint PCS is planning a roll-out the first phase of its wireless high-speed data services beginning mid-2005, up to ten times faster than current wireless speeds using the technology of EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized). By year-end Sprint Wireless High-Speed Data service will be available to more than 130 million people. And by early 2006, when the national build-out is complete, EV-DO will be available in approximately 60 metropolitan areas, encompassing more than 200 strategic urban and suburban markets - covering approximately 150 million customers.
As the next evolutionary step for the Sprint CDMA network, EV-DO enables users to extend current and new enterprise applications to your mobile workforce. In addition, the CDMA-based Sprint PCS network offers the wireless security that ensures critical information can only be accessed by authorized users.Portions of many major metro markets, like major airports and dense business corridors, are expected to be available for Sprint Wireless High-Speed Data use by early summer this year. The nature of Sprint's EV-DO implementation is one of a "rolling coverage launch" in key areas, with certain portions of a market coming online sooner than others. For example, in Dallas the airport and the downtown corridor may launch sooner than some suburban areas in the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Sprint EV-DO customers will have coverage on the current Sprint PCS Vision network and enjoy effortless upgrades and performance as the EV-DO coverage broadens.
