AUSTIN, Tex.–Sprint expanded its list of markets for initial roll-outs of 5G network technology, saying that it will build out 5G in New York City; Phoenix, Ariz., and the Kansas City market — the carrier’s hometown.
Those three cities join Atlanta, Ga.; Chicago, Ill.; Dallas and Houston, Tex., Los Angeles, Calif. and Washington, D.C. as the carrier’s intended first targets for 5G build-out. Sprint said that in April, it began putting up its first massive multiple-input multiple-output radios in NYC, Los Angeles and Dallas, and that more are on the way, with “thousands of massive MIMO radios” to be deployed this year and in 2019.
