Samsung to provide small cells for Sprint's 4G LTE network

Samsung announced it will help develop Sprint's small-cell infrastructure for use in Sprint's 4G LTE network and its 3G network improvements. Samsung's statement came several days after Sprint said Alcatel-Lucent would also be providing Sprint with small cell gear for similar purposes. Sprint has a massive multiyear Network Vision network-building intiative under way that will include the Samsung and Alcatel-Lucent products. Network Vision is expected to cost Sprint up to $5 billion. In the second quarter of 2012, Sprint had already spent $700 million on Network Vision. \\computerworld.com
