Sprint is using small cells provided by Alcatel-Lucent to supplement the capacity of its LTE network.
The operator said today it will deploy metrocells from Alcatel-Lucent’s lightRadio portfolio to “augment coverage” in high-traffic indoor areas like stadiums and campuses.
The equipment is capable of supporting 2G, 3G, LTE and Wi-Fi, but “this particular contract is specific to the 4G LTE network,” an Alcatel-Lucent spokesman said.
