A CLEAR Difference

Unlike other wireless services, CLEAR delivers a mobile broadband Description
Mobile Broadband is a type of wireless internet access that differs from Wi-Fi.

Mobile Broadband is the name used to describe the 3G services which are made possible by HSDPA and HSUPA, the latest technologies on the W-CDMA evolutionary path.

. CLEAR customers can expect to see average download speeds of 3 to 6 mbps with bursts over 10 mbps.

The CLEAR customer experience is similar to that provided by Wi-Fi, but without the short range limitations of a traditional hotspot. CLEAR uses a 4G technology that differs from Wi-Fi called WiMAX, which provides service areas measured in miles, not feet. In these markets, the Clearwire network utilizes an area-wide WiMAX radio system from Motorola.

As the Internet integrates deeper into daily life, the opportunities to stay connected and be productive are enhanced by CLEAR in numerous ways, for example:

* A busy parent who wants full Internet connectivity for kids studying or playing games in the back of the family minivan;

* A college student or retiree looking for Looking for

* A mobile professional who is unsatisfied with the speeds and limitations of 3G modem cards or the need to seek out Wi-Fi hotspots;

* A local transportation service looking to provide in-vehicle Internet service for their clients;

* A commuter interested in accessing entertainment sites like Hulu or Pandora on the ride home.

For these and many other customers, CLEAR's simple and innovative pricing provides ultimate flexibility. CLEAR's mobile and residential plans can be purchased by the day or by the month, with several no-service-contract options available. Home Internet service plans start at $25 per month; while mobile Internet plans start at $35 per month, or customers can purchase a convenient mobile day pass for $10.

Broadband Stimulus Initiative

In an effort to support the U.S. government's objectives to bring affordable broadband services to more Americans, Clearwire also announced today that it applied for a modest amount of broadband stimulus funds to bring new service to underserved areas within Detroit and Puerto Rico Puerto Rico (pwār`tō rē`kō), island (2005 est. pop. 3,917,000), 3,508 sq mi (9,086 sq km), West Indies, c.1,000 mi (1,610 km) SE of Miami, Fla. , two areas that were not otherwise part of Clearwire's current business plan. Clearwire also announced its plans to affiliate with a limited number of other grants submitted, as a spectrum and technology partner, covering additional territories in five states. These stimulus-related projects would have no significant impact on Clearwire's funding or build-out plans, but demonstrate the company's support of the government's stimulus initiatives.
