Sprint said it had “amended important contracts” with towers company Crown Castle, which the operator said will “enable the delivery of next-generation networks through Sprint’s Network Vision plan.” The deal establishes a uniform rate for deploying sites rather than contracts being negotiated site-by-site; provides Sprint with “the flexibility it needs to deploy next-generation technologies and to affect its future migration from iDEN;” and could enable the faster deployment of Network Vision by enabling both new and existing infrastructure to be operated for a period of time, “to ensure a smooth transition for customers.”
