New York City, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay area will be the next WiMAX deployments to go live, Sprint and Clearwire announced today. Before the end of 2010, the nationwide WiMAX network constructed by Clearwire and Sprint will be activated in four more major metropolitan areas, including Denver, Miami, Cincinnati, and Cleveland.
At the end of 2009, Sprint and Clearwire had about 30 WiMAX deployments open to the public in a dozen U.S. states, with plans to have more than 80 completed by the end of 2010.
It looks like the companies could fall short of that goal this year, with a total of 56 deployments in the united States thus far, and seven more expected before the year is complete.
The list of completed cities includes:
California – Merced, Visalia, Modesto and Stockton Delaware – Wilmington Florida – Orlando, Daytona Beach and Jacksonville Georgia – Atlanta and Milledgeville Hawaii – Honolulu and Maui Idaho – Boise Illinois – Chicago Massachussets – Boston Minnesota – Minneapolis/St. Paul Missouri – St. Louis and Kansas City North Carolina – Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro Nevada – Las Vegas Maryland – Baltimore, central Washington DC Michigan – Grand Rapids New York – Syracuse and Rochester Oregon – Salem, Portland and Eugene Pennsylvania – Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Reading, Lancaster and York Rhode Island – Providence Tennessee – Nashville Texas – Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Abilene, Amarillo, Corpus Christi, Killeen/Temple, Lubbock, Midland/Odessa, Waco and Wichita Falls Utah – Salt Lake City Virginia – Richmond Washington – Seattle, Tri-Cities, Yakima and Bellingham
According to the companies, New York City’s deployment will go live on November first and will be available through Clear, Sprint 4G, and Time Warner Cable Mobile Internet. Los Angeles’ network will be available one month later through Clear and Sprint 4G, and the San Francisco deployment will be available some time in late December through Clear, Comcast Xfinity Internet 2Go, and Sprint 4G.
No further details have been disclosed about the new networks in Ohio, Florida, and Colorado other than the fact that they will be opening “by the end of 2010.” Copyright Betanews, Inc. 2010
