Sprint to launch 4G wireless this summer in USA

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: 4G WiMAX mobile phone is planned to be released by Sprint-Nextel this summer to combat its continued struggles. Sprint plans to be the first U.S. wireless provider to market.

Data speed up to 10 times faster than current 3G network speeds is promised by the WiMAX supporters as viewing streaming videos, listening to online radio, communicating via instant message and other higher data apps operates faster using a WiMAX network.

San Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C. and Boston could not avail the WiMAX service currently but it is available in Atlanta, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Chicago, Philadelphia, Portland, Dallas and Seattle. Sprint is actively selling 4G products now, but the products thus far have been USB modems and a portable hotspot router.
