The device is equipped with Wireless N technology and uses multiple intelligent antennas to maximize the speed and range of 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signals to significantly outperform previous-generation Wireless G devices.
Sprint network chief Bob Azzi said his crews were working feverishly to improve service in New York despite multiple obstacles, including difficulties getting into Manhattan and trouble accessing rooftop antennas.
The antennas make use of a home's environment by bouncing multiple wireless signals off walls and ceilings to work around obstructions and help eliminate dead spots.
Cramming multiple radios, using multiple technologies, plus Wi-Fi, plus Bluetooth, and GPS requires top-notch engineers who understand antennas, filters, and the other components necessary to build a product that will work well and satisfy the general public.
