Sprint for wireless networks, services, and
software at six Texas hospitals (April
Vodafone, Verizon, and nPhase
, , 2009)
announced a strategic alliance to
accelerate adoption of M2M
technologies (February 2010)
Verizon reported in Q1 2010 that 7.3% Sprint and M2M DataSmart have a
of 101 million wireless connections are multi-year agreement to facilitate the
M2M deployment of M2M devices on
Sprint’s network (September 2009)
