Sprint hasn’t officially announced the launch of 4G service in the Denver area, but subscribers can latch onto the speedy connection in some parts of town as the buildout approaches completion.
Clearwire, which is constructing the WiMax network on which Sprint’s 4G service will ride, has lit up a 4G tower near the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver.
Clearwire says the 4G network can offer speeds of up to 10 megabits per second, or Mbps, though typical connections will range from 3 Mbps to 6 Mbps. Existing 3G connections generally peak at 1.4 Mbps. Sprint, which holds a majority stake in Clearwire, has said it will launch 4G service in Denver by the end of the year.
