Sprint has also launched a new wireless store experience with
dedicated retail teams called Sprint Express, in Miami, Orlando and
Tampa. Sprint Express is designed to expand the company’s retail
distribution presence, as well as better reach and serve consumers
in local communities. Consumers will find Sprint Express’s
temporary pop-ups at grocery stores, concerts, and special events
in Miami, Orlando and Tampa.
“We started this journey a year ago with the announcement of a
new localized approach to bring us closer to consumers, businesses,
and an experienced workforce here in Miami,” said Claudio Hidalgo,
Sprint President, Florida, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands
Region. “Sprint’s new stores, jobs and infrastructure investment
not only underscores our desire to provide the best overall
experience for our customers, but also our growing commitment to
this region. As we look ahead, we’re excited about the impact we’ll
make in South Florida.”
The company has also made substantial network investments where
more than 500 cell sites in the market have been upgraded with the
addition of 800 MHz, 2.5 GHz, LTE technology, HD Voice, and Carrier
Aggregation. Sprint has also begun a limited deployment of small
cell technology in market. In addition, the company recently
launched HPUE (High Performance User Equipment), a new innovation
that can extend Sprint’s 2.5 GHz coverage by up to 30 percent,
including indoors, on capable devices. All of these upgrades have
significantly improved the overall performance of video and other
bandwidth-intensive applications in areas throughout the tri-county
area, and at specific venues such as the Miami Beach Convention
Center.
“Sprint’s customers in Miami have a strong demand for wireless
data which is why their data usage has increased more than 650
percent over the last five years,” said Mike Hennigan, Sprint
Regional Vice President for Network. “As a result, we’ve been
deploying some of the most advanced technologies in wireless across
this market. We’ll continue to aggressively upgrade our network in
Florida to provide our customers with the best network
experience.”
In 2016, Sprint chose the West Miami Area as its Florida/Puerto
Rico/U.S. Virgin Regional headquarters in the outskirts of thriving
Doral, FL. Last month, it relocated its office to another location
in Doral and will hold a ribbon cutting with the Greater Miami
Chamber of Commerce on May 10th.
"The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce is thrilled with Sprint’s
commitment to South Florida and Greater Miami. Its local corporate
presence, investment in our community, and participation in the
Chamber and its programs position Sprint as an ideal
member-partner,” said Alfred Sanchez, president/CEO of the Greater
Miami Chamber of Commerce.
In South Florida, Sprint currently employs close to 500 people
and was recently recognized as a Sun-Sentinel Top Workplace.
Through its local presence, Sprint will continue to work to improve
customer service, enhance the network, and make a difference in
Miami by collaborating with community organizations and finding
ways to give back locally through programs like the 1MillionProject
which helps to close the ‘homework gap’ for students in South
Florida and across the country.
