Sprint, Dish Teaming Up to Develop Wireless Broadband

Sprint and satellite TV company Dish Network agreed to jointly develop and deploy a trial run of a fixed wireless broadband service, just months after Dish attempted to buy the wireless provider and the two battled over Clearwire. The companies plan to run the trial in Corpus Christi (TX) in the middle of next year with plans to expand into additional markets in the future. Dish will install an outdoor router or an indoor system, depending on a client's location, to deliver broadband service, which features built-in antennas to receive a 4G TDD-LTE signal on Sprint's 2.5 GHz spectrum.
