Using our existing infrastructure to upgrade the Sprint PCS network to 3G by simply changing out channel cards in our base stations will ensure a timely, smooth and cost effective migration. We're committed to delivering this technology to meet the needs of our customers as they evolve to higher-speed 3G technologies. By early 2003, Sprint will move to the second of its four-stage migration path with speeds of up to 307 kbps. Last year, Lucent Technologies and Sprint PCS conducted field trials of 3G1x demonstrating peak data transmission rates of 144 kbps. Sprint will deploy CDMA2000 3G1x technology later this year.
Sprint is a large carrier of Internet traffic and a leader in broadband communications.
