High-speed, high-capacity network providing superior performance

What is 4G?

• 4G is the next generation of wireless networks

• Provides high-speed, high-capacity, IP- based services for video, data and voice (Voice over IP)

• Sprint 4G is capable of delivering speeds 3 to 5 times faster than other mobile broadband networks available today averages 3.5 down with peaks of 7meg & 1.5 meg up stream peak

• Powered by WiMAX on an integrated global network based on open standards

• Sprint is the first national wireless carrier delivering 4G today

Sprint 4G is capable of delivering up to 10 times faster download speeds than 3G networks*

*“Up to 10x faster” based on download speed comparison of 3G’s 600 kbps vs. 4G’s 6 Mbps. Industry published 3G avg. speeds (600 kbps-1.7 Mbps); 4G avg. speeds (3-6 Mbps). Actual speeds may vary. Sprint 4G is available in over 25 markets and counting. See sprint.com/4G for details.

Business Applications with 4G

Mobile Computing– Sprint 4G broadband devices and embedded laptop solutions – enabling individuals to

work when and where they want – home health or community-based health care providers

– Speeds and latency improvements over current mobile solutions enable rich content, larger file transfers, and streaming video – translating to real improvements in productivity.

Business Access – Fixed Site Access Alternative– Connect your remote business locations, offices, and mobile workgroups with integrated

voice and data solutions, using secure network connections

Virtual Desktop– Sprint 4G-enabled smart phones will have the processing power, applications, and now the

network connectivity to replace the laptop paradigm. Remote monitoring, drug database access, home health care dispatch and instant access to real-time patient information.

Video Delivery & Distribution– Sprint 4G can provide low-latency, remote access to video for remote diagnosis, security,

training, and progressive learning solutions.

Wireless Modules– Low-cost 4G modules to allow high-speed wireless access to remote medical equipment for

real-time monitoring

Sprint 4G Competitive AdvantagesThere are four primary benefits when selecting Sprint as your 4G service provider

8

Timing Performance Cost Spectrum

Sprint/Clearwire holdings provide unmatched network capacity• Clearwire has an

average of 120 MHz per city across the country at 2.5 GHz

• Competitors have purchased much less spectrum available for high-speed data

• Competitors cannot adapt to large increases in wireless data usage patterns without spectrum

Original Equipment Manufacturers can produce 4G chip sets at a lower cost• Similarity between Wi-

Fi and WiMAX, along with lower intellectual property costs, makes 4G chip sets more economical to produce

• Lower cost chip sets are more attractive to consumer electronics Original Equipment Manufactures to integrate

• Supports adoption and innovation for a larger WiMAX ecosystem based on open standards

Sprint 4G is the fastest today and will continue to evolve• WiMAX and LTE

provide similar performance under the same conditions so the “Fastest Speed” claims are expected to leap frog every 1-3 years as new standards versions are implemented by providers

Sprint is two years ahead of the industry •AT&T and T-Mobile are deploying HSPA as an interim step, so they won’t deploy LTE until ~2012• Verizon in limited trials

until mid 2010

• Sprint 4G provides more robust use of applications on the job and away from the office

• 4G services can deliver speeds up to 10 times faster than any 3G mobile broadband network available today, enabling new business applications

• 4G benefits all businesses, particularly real estate, construction, transportation, retail, education, healthcare, public safety and insurance

• Sprint is the first national wireless provider to offer next generation wireless Internet service

• Sprint will continue to extend the high-speed Internet experience to major cities across the nation covering approximately 120 million people by end of 2010
