The Seamless Enterprise

If you have any doubt 4G is real and ready, you can take the word of our bloggers–or get it straight from the horse’s mouth, Sprint customers. 

Kayentis, based in Philadelphia (where Sprint launched 4G last October) is a perfect example. Their successful usage of the Sprint 3G/4G USB Modem U300 mobile broadband cards is instructive, and has achieved online news coverage such as this. You can also enjoy a video version.

Kayentis is a software provider to the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, and its solutions streamline the collection, display, sharing, and archiving of information and clinical data. The company’s executives are clearly impressed by the faster download speeds and the improved web experience that 4G delivers.

As Guy Maestre, Kayentis’ VP of North American Operations, put it, “The new e-mail and data exchange speeds that we see when acquiring research data, RFP information, and accessing our applications in our central servers through the web are truly remarkable.” He added that there has been a “great improvement” in the ability of the company executives to communicate with each other and with the company’s customers, thanks to 4G.

Maestre says that once Kayentis’ customers start using 4G, the far faster speeds will give them unwired access to their data instantaneously, and accelerate the process of capturing the clinical data they live by.

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse has pointed out recently that, in the healthcare industry in particular,  4G has tremendous promise with its data-intensive applications such as medical imaging and medical records and the need to transmit this data quickly. We’re talking lives on the line here. But obviously, any industry can calculate worthwhile benefits from speed that’s up to 10 times faster than 3G.

For Kayentis customers in Philadelphia and 31 other markets, they could start taking advantage of that speed right now, since Sprint 4G is available to them as we speak. By the end of this year, Sprint 4G will cover a population of nearly 120 million. And in these places, we’re not talking just a few hotspots with spotty coverage. It’s virtually anywhere in those cities.

So that “blazing-fast mobile broadband experience” that we talk about? Kayentis shows it’s already here, now.
