Every Carrier Needs More Cells Sites

At least that is Dr. John Saw’s, Chief Network Officer at Sprint, view. According to Jennifer Fritzsche, Senior Analyst at Wells Faro, he indicated “every carrier needs more cell sites” in order to offer a thorough 4G network experience at Sprint’s event on Monday. “Thorough 4G network experience” may bring about some questions—how do you determine what thorough is? The carriers are working to maintain a constant signal to their 4G LTE network. So when someone is driving, walking, running, etc. and texting or accessing data the connection remains on the 4G LTE network. In order to achieve this, there needs to be more towers. The major tower companies are doing well and are busier than ever. “We are building more towers today than we have ever built in the five years that I’ve been here at American Tower,” said Steven Marshall, president of American Tower’s U.S. tower division. “There is a need to fill these coverage holes in the carrier’s networks … and the carriers are doing a valiant job of trying to fill those holes.” (Source: RCR Wireless)
