Sprint PCS’ services are offered through a combination of: operating its own digital network in major United States metropolitan areas using code division multiple access (CDMA), which is a digital spread-spectrum wireless technology that allows a large number of users to access a single frequency band by assigning a code to all speech bits, sending a scrambled transmission of the encoded speech over the air, and reassembling the speech into its original format; affiliating with other companies that use CDMA, mainly in and around smaller United States metropolitan areas; roaming on other providers’ analog cellular networks using multi mode and multi band handsets; and roaming on other providers’ digital networks that use CDMA. The PCS Group also includes an investment in Virgin Mobile, USA, which is a joint venture to market wireless services. Further, this group provides PCS services to companies that resell PCS services to their customers on a retail basis under their own brand. The company was founded in 1938. In April 2003, Ronald T. LeMay, President and Chief Operating Officer Sprint Corporation, left the company. In May 2003, President and CEO, Gary D. Forsee became chairman of Sprint Corporation.
