New 4G LTE markets head out from Sprint by Labor Day

At the very bottom of the press release for the new Motorola Photon Q from Sprint, they tossed in a small little blurb about upcoming 4G LTE areas. By small we mean it was two sentences and a list of the new locations. We kinda missed that little bit. So here we are, tossing out that information to those of you that might want or need to know. Sprint is looking to activate four more cities with their new 4G LTE services by Labor Day, they are –

Baltimore, MD
Gainesville,Â GA
Manhattan/Junction City, KS
Sherman-Denison, TX

While it isn’t the huge cross country roll outs we see from Verizon, it is a start. It is good to see them getting it up and running in more places. Sprint plans to have largelyÂ completed the enhancements to 4G LTE by the end of 2013, covering 250 million people across the U.S.

On July 15, Sprint launched 4G LTE in 15 cities including Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Atlanta, Kansas City and Waco, Texas. Sprint today announced that four more cities will soon experience the speed and power of the all-new 4G LTE network. As the first national wireless carrier to introduce 4G service in 2008, Sprint will bring 4G LTE to the following cities before Labor Day:

Baltimore, MD

Gainesville,Â GA

Manhattan/Junction City, KS

Sherman-Denison, TX

Additionally, by the end of 2013, Sprint expects to have largely completed the build-out of itsÂ all-new 4G LTEnationwide network â€“ with an enhanced 3G network â€“ covering 250 million people across the United States. The launch of these metropolitan areas demonstrates Sprint’s continued commitment to investing in its network throughÂ Network Vision.
