Sprint will use DragonWave's microwave backhaul equipment as part of its strategy to significantly densify its network through deploying small cells and other solutions, according to a company statement.
Densification allows Sprint to keep pace with rising demand for data and gives customers more capacity and faster data speeds in targeted high-traffic locations."Microwave backhaul is a cost-efficient, reliable alternative when used in the right ring structures, and it's a key part of the extension of our overall toolkit as we work to provide customers with more consistent coverage, better reliability, and even faster data speeds," Sprint's COO of Technology Günther Ottendorfer said in a statement.
