Sprint’s new plan: You can hear them now

Sprint representatives today released another solution guaranteed to help keep that cellular phone handcuffed to your wrist. The "Sprint Advanced Wireless Solutions" program seeks to provide business customers with mobility solution delivery capability. The program promises to offer businesses a one-stop shop, single contract and centralized bill, with hardware, application software, mobile voice and data use, professional services, and customer care packaged together.

Sprint Advanced Wireless Solutions is being touted for mid-size businesses, enterprise customers and government agencies. The six operational enhancement solutions currently available include field service automation; route accounting; fleet dispatch and resource management; mobile asset management; mobile IT help desk management; and field sales management. Four other solutions are promised for release later in the year: healthcare provider solutions; equipment diagnostics; a fixed assets tracker; and public safety.
