Sprint Nextel Corporation, also referred to as Sprint , is a wireless and wireline voice and data telecommunications company serving customers in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Sprint Nextel offers wireless services under the Sprint, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile, payLo, and Assurance Wireless brands and also provides wholesale wireless access of its networks to a number of Mobile Virtual Network Operators in the United States. At the end of 2011, the Sprint wireless network served more than 55 million customers.

The company's headquarters are located in Overland Park, Kansas, United States. Dan Hesse is the President and C.E.O.

Sprint is a tier 1 global Internet access service provider. Sprint Nextel is the United States' third largest long distance provider by subscribers.

Sprint Nextel operates separate wireless networks, one using the CDMA radio interface and one using the iDEN radio interface. In 2009, Sprint reached an agreement to outsource management of its wireless networks to Ericsson. In 2012 Sprint amended its previously announced "Network Vision" plan in which it will decommission the iDEN network, then refarm Sprint Nextel's spectrum assets, deploying updated CDMA network equipment and FDD LTE network equipment to increase coverage, network capacity and data throughput speeds while reducing base station complexity and power consumption.
