OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Jun 17, 2009 -- On June 16, Sprint (NYSE:S) received a Global Telecoms Business Innovation Award in the category of Business Service Innovation - Unified Services Enablement specific to how Sprint enables Unified Communications (UC). The Global Telecoms Business Innovation Awards are designed to honor innovative projects involving telecoms operators and service providers around the world, in association with their vendors and suppliers.

Sprint recently announced how it is enabling unified communications to help businesses and government agencies increase productivity and customer satisfaction while driving down costs. Sprint is collaborating with industry leaders Cisco, IBM and Microsoft to deliver end-to-end solutions. Unified communications solutions integrate day-to-day communication tools such as email, voicemail, instant messaging, calendars, fax, and audio/video conferencing into a single platform and a common user experience.

"We're honored that Global Telecoms Business has recognized our innovative approach to enabling unified communications," said Paget Alves, president of Sprint's Business Markets Group. "The power of unified communications is in mobility and our vision is to extend all UC tools to the mobile environment, making them accessible to users virtually anywhere, anytime. Sprint's unique wireless and wireline network assets make us uniquely qualified to integrate mobility unlike any other company can."

-- Sprint Mobile Integration - A unique solution that enables users to fully integrate their Sprint CDMA phones with the unified communications environment, extending desktop phone capabilities to mobile phones.

"We were impressed by the quality and number of nominations this year -- the most we have ever had -- so it was a special triumph to be one of the winners this year. This was an outstanding project and well deserves its award," said Alan Burkitt-Gray, editor, Global Telecoms Business.
