Sprint Expands its Metro Network Presence to 20 Cities

Sprint completed construction of three large metropolitan area network (MAN) rings in the Minneapolis/St. Paul region. The rings connect the Sprint network to several local telecom exchange facilities and a Sprint mobile switching center (MSC) in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. The MSC routes wireless calls for local PCS customers of Sprint. The company has now deployed metro networks in 20 markets and intends to drive its fiber-optic network deeper into the metro areas of 30 U.S. cities before mid- 2004.
