said on Wednesday it has demonstrated ultra-fast wireless data speeds of 1 gigabits per second, about 16 times faster than its current peak speeds and rivaling the fastest wireline speeds. Sprint says the fastest speed on its existing network is 60 megabits per second under a service called Sprint Spark, which is currently available in five cities. Sprint, which announced its plans to investors and reporters at its research laboratory outside San Francisco, said it plans to use the latest technology and airwaves from its buyout of Clearwire Corp to boost its network capacity. The company said it plans to deploy Sprint Spark in about 100 of America's largest cities during the next three years.
