Sprint Unveils Smaller, Faster Magic Box

Sprint said Wednesday it's launching a new version of its plug-and-play “small cell,” the Sprint Magic Box Generation 3. Sprint first launched its Magic Box last year for homes and small businesses (see 1705030046). The new version offers speeds “up to 25 percent faster than the previous model, with an even quicker start-up process,” Sprint said. “The smaller footprint and improved antenna provides customers more location flexibility without the need to place the device directly in a window." It will be available by year-end, Sprint said.
