Clearwire WiMAX UnWires Atlanta

Clearwire Communications says they have transformed Atlanta into
the fastest unwired city in the South. The city is now home to the
largest 4G WiMAX wireless broadband network in the United States with CLEAR
service available to nearly three million people across approximately
1,200 square miles.

CLEAR delivers a mobile broadband
Internet experience on par with speeds typically experienced only on
fixed residential and commercial connections, like DSL. For example,
some of today's 3G wireless networks typically deliver download speeds
of between 1.0 and 1.7 Mbps. CLEAR customers, however, can expect to see
download speeds of 4 to 6 Mbps with bursts exceeding 15 Mbps, far
surpassing even the peak theoretical speeds of 7.2 Mbps in upcoming 3G
upgrades. In Atlanta, the CLEAR network utilizes an area-wide WiMAX
radio system from Motorola.

CLEAR's mobile and residential plans can be purchased by
the day or by the month, and do not require long-term service contracts.
Home Internet service plans start at $20 per month, while mobile
Internet plans start at $40 per month, or customers can purchase a
convenient day pass for $10. Additional savings are available for
customers purchasing both home and mobile Internet services or signing
up for a two-year service agreement. Full details about pricing options
and business plans are available.

Simply Plug-In and Go

CLEAR offers several simple choices for broadband connectivity.

• USB modem: Mobile users simply
  plug-in CLEAR's compact, mobile WiMAX-enabled USB modem into their
  laptop to get online. The USB modem, from Motorola, is available for
  only $59.99 or leased for just $4.99 per month. Customers can purchase
  the modem from a store or online.
• Residential modem & services:
  For residential service, CLEAR offers customers a wireless high-speed
  modem, about the size of a small book. Customers simply plug the modem
  into a power outlet anywhere in their home or office and connect the
  modem to their PC or wireless router. This enables consumers and
  businesses to install high-speed Internet service without the need to
  schedule an appointment, drill holes in their walls, or otherwise
  disrupt their day. The CLEAR residential modem, from Motorola, can be
  purchased for $79.99 or leased for just $4.99 monthly. Residential
  customers can also add in-home voice service with purchase of the
  CLEAR Voice Adapter for $15, and receive unlimited local and long
  distance service for just $24.99 per month.
• CLEAR Spot: With the CLEAR Spot,
  any existing, off-the-shelf Wi-Fi device (compatible with 802.11b/g)
  can connect to CLEAR's mobile WiMAX network. The CLEAR Spot creates a
  personal Wi-Fi hotspot that travels with consumers anywhere they
  happen to be within CLEAR's mobile WiMAX service area. This $139
  device is a portable, battery-powered router that seamlessly connects
  up to eight standard Wi-Fi-enabled devices (computers, mobile phones,
  portable gaming, consoles, cameras, etc.) to the Internet via a CLEAR
  USB modem to access CLEAR's mobile WiMAX network.
• Intel Embedded WiMAX Laptops:
  Numerous CLEAR-compatible embedded WiMAX laptops based on Intel®

• Coming Soon: Panasonic has
  announced plans to deliver this year a Toughbook® computer with
  embedded WiMAX based on Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology, and
  compatible with the CLEAR network. A dual-mode, 3G/4G, modem is coming
  this summer, which will provide CLEAR customers access to Sprint's
  nationwide 3G network, and consumers will also soon be able to order
  the Samsung Mondi™, mobile WiMAX enabled handheld device.
