Sprint has launched 4G WiMAX service in Los Angeles, Miami, Washington D.C., Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio.
Customers in these metropolitan areas can now take full advantage of the Sprint 4G network using a wide range of 4G-capable smartphones and mobile hotspot USB modems.
WiMAX 4G access is available via the Overdrive Mobile Hotspot, Samsung Epic 4G and HTC EVO 4G.
"We have witnessed a great demand from our customers for 4G speeds, power and capabilities in these cities already, and today they officially have it," said Matt Carter, president of Sprint 4G. "We are proud to deliver on our commitment to serve our customers and deliver 4G to more major metropolitan areas in 2010."
With the addition of these six markets, Sprint 4G is now available in 68 markets across the country, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and New York City. Additionally, the wireless carrier announced that it expects to launch the San Francisco market - home to Silicon Valley and thousands of tech enthusiasts - on Dec. 28.
Sprint first launched 4G in Baltimore in September 2008 and has since delivered a comprehensive consumer, business and public sector strategy and a portfolio of devices, consisting of phones, USB aircards, notebook/netbook products, mobile hotspots and routers, which are being used by satisfied consumers and businesses.
