Alltel expands EVDO Revision A network in Kansas

As we spoke about in an earlier post, Alltel is rolling out EVDO Revision A in numerous places.

Wichita, Kansas also gets to hop on the 3G high speed bandwagon. As we said before, speeds are expected to go from EVDO Revision 0 speeds of 400-700 kbps to 600-1400 kbps on the downlink.

That's about twice the speed while price remains the same (phew).

Alltel Upgrading 3G Network to EVDO Rev. A

Falling right on the heels of an announced Verizon-Alltel merger, the 5th largest nationwide carrier has announced that it is upgrading its 3G network from EVDO Revision 0 to EVDO Revision A. Of course that only makes sense to do if they're really talking about merging the networks. To see how that puts them on par with Sprint and Verizon, compare the mobile broadband carriers.


Just what will become of Sprint who currently has a 10 year roaming contract with Alltel? Stay tuned...
