 PROFILE
A team player in the PCS game, US Unwired provides digital mobile phone service as a regional affiliate of Sprint PCS. The company operates a CDMA (code division multiple access) network that serves more than 170,000 PCS customers in more than 40 markets in the southern US. It's extending the network to additional markets in the Gulf Coast region, where it has exclusive rights to the Sprint PCS brand. US Unwired also provides analog cellular and paging services to about 50,000 customers in southwest Louisiana. Involved in telecommunications since the late 1920s, the Henning family founded US Unwired's predecessor company in 1967.
