Sprint to Nextel customers: Direct Connect is here to stay
Written by admin on February 1st, 2008 in devices and gadgets.
When Sprint and Nextel merged, many Nextel customers feared the iDEN technology that powered the Push-To-Talk service would be passed over as the new company pushed more products in line with what Sprint already offered. Sprint has a special message for Nextel Direct Connect customers.; its commitment to the iDEN network remains.
Best of all, not only will Sprint look to continue to support the iDEN technology, the company now wants to enhance it in 2008. This includes combining the Direct Connect service with Sprint Mobile Broadband data capabilities. So, instead of just using Push-To-Talk, you could also push-to-x, whether x is an image, text message, or information. Talk about taking Direct Connect to the next generation.
I think Nextel customers are happy to hear the iDEN network isn’t going anywhere and that Sprint is looking to combine the best of both of their networks to offer new services to its customers. Nextel’s Direct Connect remains extremely popular with many businesses. It’s important for Sprint to remind those customers that Nextel’s Direct Connect isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it is only getting better.
