Independent mobile analytics firm RootMetrics® has just released
its Denver RootScore® Report showing Sprint shared #1 in overall,
speed, data, call, and text network performance. This is the third
consecutive RootScore Report that Sprint has shared the top spot
for overall network performance in Denver.
In Colorado Springs, Sprint achieved an outright #1 ranking in
call performance and a tie for #1 in overall, reliability, speed,
and text network performance.
“Sprint has relentlessly focused on expanding and fine-tuning
our network in Denver and Colorado Springs and our RootScore Awards
are proof that our hard work is providing an exceptional wireless
experience,” said Greg Post, president-Mountain Southwest Region at
Sprint. “We’re proud to have achieved a ‘three-peat’ for shared
overall network performance in Denver and to also share first place
in overall network performance in Colorado Springs. We’ll keep
investing in both communities to further improve our
performance.”
Getting Better Every Day
Network performance in Denver and Colorado Springs has continued
to improve with the addition of new cell sites, increased coverage
and capacity, and systematic optimization of each cell site to
maximize performance. During testing RootMetrics was also able to
experience Sprint’s carrier aggregation technology on the 2.5GHz
spectrum band. This feature of Sprint’s super-fast LTE Plus Network
creates a wider lane that allows more network traffic to travel at
higher rates, enabling Sprint to provide customers in Denver and
Colorado Springs with even faster data speeds.
In addition, Sprint recently completed a 2.5GHz Distributed
Antenna System (DAS) overlay at Denver International Airport, the
third largest airport in the United States by total land area and
18th busiest airport in the world in 2015. DAS is a wireless system
built to support data traffic within a structure such as an
airport, convention hall or sports arena, bringing broader network
coverage and an enhanced mobile data experience to the more than 54
million passengers yearly at Denver International Airport.
