Late in 2010 Sprint announced a new plan to retrofit all of their base stations not only with more energy efficient gear, but also with 800 MHz, 1.9 GHz spectrum, 4G 2.5 GHz hardware that can simultaneously support Mobile WiMax, EVDO and LTE. As Sprint made clear last October they plan to run all three technologies simultaneously for a few years, and while Sprint has chosen their words carefully and insists they're still dedicated to WiMax, the writing has been on the wall for the technology. As you might expect, Sprint says they won't be unveiling any more WiMax devices as the company gears up for the launch of their LTE network and new LTE devices like the Galaxy Nexus sometime in the middle of this year.
