C Spire Wireless, a wireless provider in the U.S. that offers personalized wireless
services, announced the expansion of its wireless mobile broadband services to
more than 1.3 million consumers and businesses.
The company plans to expand mobile broadband coverage to 238 cell sites in portions of
Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee by the end of this year as part of its
continuing network expansion and readiness efforts for introduction of 4G LTE
services.
Last month, C Spire announced a $90 million network expansion program to offer faster data
speeds and more robust services, including significant boosts in network
capacity, the addition of new and upgraded cell sites, the installation of thousands
of miles of fiber optic cable and hundreds of enhanced backhaul connections.
The company is also spending an additional $10 million to expand mobile broadband services
in 61 cities and 65 counties, enabling consumers and businesses to experience
faster uploads and downloads, gain access to new and expanded mobile data
services, including mobile video telephony, high-quality music and other
multimedia applications.
With the addition of the latest coverage, advanced mobile broadband services will be
available to nearly 4.7 million consumers and businesses. Since 2003, C Spire
has invested more than $1 billion in network infrastructure improvements. C
Spire has the highest smartphone penetration rate in the U.S. wireless
industry.
“Wireless devices are only as good as the network on which they work, which is why we’re
aggressively expanding our advanced mobile broadband coverage. We want
consumers and businesses to have the best possible wireless experience, whether
they’re making a phone call, sending a text message, sharing videos and photos,
checking the latest scores or making their business mobile,” said Kevin
Hankins, chief operating officer for C Spire Wireless.
