Sprint Expands True Mobile 5G to Cover Approximately 16 Million People Within Nine Metro Areas
Sprint has expanded its True Mobile 5G service to now cover approximately 16 million people — previously approximately 11 million — within our nine metropolitan areas. Where Sprint 5G is available, customers with 5G devices are experiencing dramatically faster speeds, with initial 5G performance results showing a nearly 6X increase in average download speed compared to LTE.
Sprint and Arizona State University to Combine Innovation with 5G and Curiosity™ IoT
Sprint is working with Arizona State University to help drive economic, educational, technological and social growth for an entire region of Arizona, leveraging the power of Sprint’s True Mobile 5G and Curiosity IoT’s advanced dedicated network and operating system. The multiyear project will enable massive 5G campus connectivity, create new IoT curriculum, and kick-start joint scientific research.
Sprint Extends CuriosityTM to Include Private IoT Networks
Sprint announced it would launch a private network solution — in partnership with Ericsson — that brings IoT to the Edge on its groundbreaking Curiosity™ IoT Core and Curiosity™ OS. The solution design, purpose-built for IoT, enables enterprise customers to manage IoT applications that have critical requirements, such as low latency or local breakout, without the need to traverse the macro network. Data from devices is turned into intelligence locally, creating benefits for a variety of verticals, such as manufacturing, public safety and mining, to reach the other on-premise devices or application services.
NB-IoT Now Available on Sprint’s Curiosity™ IoT
Sprint announces the availability of NB-IoT on its Curiosity™ IoT platform. A complement to the nationwide Cat-M rollout, NB-IoT further expands low-power wide area network access to its dedicated, virtualized and distributed network and operating system, purpose-engineered for IoT. The combination of CAT-M and NB-IoT brings flexibility to address the unique demands of diverse connected device use cases. With the rollout of NB-IoT, Sprint is meeting the needs of small and medium businesses, enterprises and government entities in how to connect, manage and secure its people, places and things.

Telecel Ghana Employee Volunteers Plants Over 5000 Trees in Massive Reforestation Effort
![](https://ameyawdebrah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Telecel-employee-volunteer-plants-a-seedling-with-the-support-of-a-Forestry-Commission-official.jpg)
Over 60 employee volunteers from telecommunications giant, Telecel Ghana in partnership with Forestry Commission joined forces with young students from Luom Basic Schools and Ghana International School (GIS) to plant thousands of seedlings to replace lost forest cover at the Chipa Tributary Forest Reserve in Agomeda.
As a way of furthering Telecel Ghana’s commitment to environmental sustainability and in line with the Green Ghana agenda, senior management, and employee volunteers dedicated their day to reforestation for a greener future.
Chief Executive Officer of Telecel Ghana, Ing. Patricia Obo-Nai emphasised the importance of collective action to increase green cover and protect the environment. She said, “As a telco that operates with a purpose, this annual initiative is our contribution to sustaining the environment,” she added, “As part of our ESG strategy, we continue to partner with various stakeholders such as the Forestry Commission to create a sustainable environment for people and animals. This year, our employees, together with the school children are planting over 5000 seedlings to preserve the Chipa Tributary Forest Reserve.”
Gazetted as a reserve in 1968, the Chipa Tributary Forest Reserve in Agomeda in the Greater Accra Region serves as a habitat for animals and conserves the tributary that flows into the Dawhenya Dam. However, forestry officials reported that bushfires and firewood harvesting have destroyed around 50 hectares out of the reserve’s total 2,410 hectares.
Mrs. Winifred Ohene-Wiafe, Manager for the Tema-Ada Forest District said, “We need more trees to offset the effect of urbanisation which has led to more buildings being put up and the depletion of trees in our cities. Tree planting is a worthy course so I will encourage every individual and institution to partake in reforestation to improve our environment.”
For Michela, a third-year secondary student of GIS, this is her first planting experience, and it has sparked an interest in reforestation. “Tree planting is important as it helps to restore areas that are depleted. It’s been a fun experience planting together with employees of Telecel Ghana and other students to improve air and environment quality. I’m excited that I am being part of making an impact.”
Ernest, a basic nine pupil and member of the Wildlife Club at the Luom Presbyterian School, located in one of the reserves host communities, believes the tree planting exercise will help address climate change. “There’s a saying that when the last tree dies, the last man dies. Joining to plant trees today will help purify the air we breathe and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. I advise other young people to plant trees to reduce global warming and the impact of climate change.”

The workshop addressed a pressing need in the rapidly expanding online food delivery sector, where maintaining food safety and quality is crucial. Recognizing the rise in online food businesses, the FDA partnered with Bolt Food to enhance food safety measures across the industry.
Chief Regulatory Officer at the FDA, Dr. Edward Archer emphasized the importance for courier operators to understand the impact of food safety measures on their operations.

The training covered personal hygiene practices, the importance of maintaining appropriate food temperatures during delivery, and protocols for handling food to prevent contamination.
