Sprint has deployed expanded band coverage at 2.5 GHz, to about 75% of its macro network sites - up from about 50% of sites at this time last year - and it plans to focus on its massive multiple-input multiple- output deployment this year, company executives said on the carrier's quarterly call with investors.
CEO Michel Combes said that Sprint has added expanded its 800 MHz, 1.9 GHz and 2.5 GHz coverage. The 800 MHz coverage was added to "thousands of sites, primarily in the Southwest markets" to extend Sprint's coverage as it completed rebanding efforts, he said.
