Non-Terrestrial Networks Expanding Telecom Infrastructure

Non-terrestrial networks are redefining the boundaries of global connectivity by incorporating satellites, high-altitude platforms, and drones into the existing cellular framework. This expansion addresses the inherent limitations of ground-based towers, offering a resilient and comprehensive solution for rural coverage, emergency communications, and disaster recovery on a worldwide scale.

Satellite Integration Accelerating 5G and 6G Networks

Modern telecommunications are undergoing a profound shift as space-based assets merge with terrestrial cellular infrastructure to deliver ubiquitous high-speed connectivity. This evolution addresses the geographical limitations of traditional base stations, creating a unified global network capable of supporting the next generation of mobile technology and massive machine-type communications.

Satellite Backhaul Enabling Scalable Telecom Operations

Satellite backhaul has emerged as a cornerstone of modern network design, providing a flexible and cost-effective alternative to terrestrial fiber and microwave links. This technology allows telecom operators to bypass the physical constraints of ground-based infrastructure, facilitating rapid expansion into rural and underserved markets while maintaining a high standard of data transmission and service reliability.

Sprint expands its portfolio of the iconic Samsung Galaxy S8 series on Friday, Nov. 17, with the addition of Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. This military-grade version of the iconic device will be available in all Sprint retail stores, online at www.sprint.com and by calling 1-800-Sprint1.

For a limited time, switch to Sprint and get Samsung GS8 Active at 50 percent off your monthly payments with Sprint Flex – just $17.71 per month. 1 And with Galaxy Forever, you can upgrade to the latest Galaxy any time after 12 lease payments, exclusively from Sprint.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Active offers flagship performance with redefined durability, allowing users the freedom to live an active lifestyle without worrying about damaging their phone. Engineered from high-strength aluminum and protective bumpers for military-grade durability, the shock, shatter, dust and water-resistant Galaxy S8 Active withstands tough hits and falls. Its shatter-resistant screen is protected against accidental drops while delivering the bright, vivid colors of the 5.8-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED Display.2

Galaxy S8 Active also boasts a large, long-lasting 4,000mAh battery that can go more than a day of usage on a single charge. With Samsung’s most advanced fast charge and fast wireless charging capabilities, it powers up quickly and conveniently.3

Switch to Sprint and Save
Switch to Sprint and get four lines of Unlimited for $25 per month per line with the fifth line free when you add five lines – that’s five lines of Unlimited for only $100 per month. Sprint’s Unlimited plan includes Unlimited data, talk and text, HD streaming video and 10GB of hotspot data per line.4 It’s the best price for Unlimited, and 50 percent off Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile Unlimited rates for a family of five.5

Samsung GS8 Active joins Samsung GS8 and Samsung GS8+ as part of Sprint’s HPUE-enabled (High Performance User Equipment) smartphone lineup. HPUE makes the Sprint network experience even better with increased coverage, more capacity and faster speeds on capable devices. HPUE-enabled smartphones are designed to give customers a better overall experience for watching streaming videos and enjoying mobile gaming and other online apps and services. HPUE can extend Sprint’s existing 2.5GHz coverage by up to 30 percent to nearly match its mid-band 1.9GHz spectrum performance, including indoors where the majority of wireless traffic is generated.6

HPUE is one of many tools Sprint is using to improve its network and take advantage of its deep 2.5GHz spectrum holdings. With an average of 204MHz of spectrum and more than 160MHz of 2.5GHz spectrum in the top 100 U.S. markets, Sprint has more spectrum than any other carrier across the nation, allowing Sprint to keep adding the capacity and speed needed to serve customers’ increasing demand for unlimited data.
