Clear launches 4G Internet service in Orlando and Nashville

September 20th, 2010   Posted by shane.cannon

Clear announced new coverage for Super Fast Mobile Internet in Orlando Florida and Nashville Tennessee. Customers can connect to the Internet at home, at work, or on the go wirelessly.

In Orlando CLEAR covers nearly 1.4 million people. Regionally, service extends as far north as Lake Mary, as far south as Kissimmee, east to Waterford Lakes and west to Winter Garden

In Nashville, CLEAR covers more than 980,000 people. Service extends as far north as Goodlettsville, as far south as Murfreesboro and southwest as Franklin, west to Bellevue, and east to Antioch/Smyrna.

The CLEAR experience is similar to Wi-Fi but without the short-range limitations. CLEAR uses wireless 4G technology that differs from Wi-Fi because it provides service areas measured in miles, not feet. CLEAR also offers average mobile download speeds of 3 to 6 mbps with bursts up to 10 mbps.  To get even more coverage outside the CLEAR 4G service area, dual-mode 4G/3G modems keep users continually connected by leveraging Sprint’s 3G data network.

Clear sticks to unlimited Data price model

September 9th, 2010   Posted by shane.cannon

Chief Commercial Officer for Clearwire Mike Sievert recently spoke at a conference and highlighted the challenges wireless carriers face. “There is a spectrum shortage, and demand will exceed supply, and something has to be done,” said Mike Sievert.

Demand for wireless data services is growing fast. The mean average data usage is 0.5GB per month, per user in the U.S., he said. Users of Clearwire’s USB data sticks, however, consume a mean average of 7GB of data per month, he said. Clearwire’s smartphone users consume less, but “way above the average,” he said.

“It means that when you give people 4G, they use it,” he said. “If the industry average grows to even 1GB or 2.5GB, most carriers in the U.S. are in big, big trouble.”

While Clearwire is in a particularly good spectrum position, it doesn’t feel immune to the pressure, he said. “Even we live in a finite world,” Sievert said.

The operators said they’ll be trying out different ways of pricing access for the many new kinds of devices that people want to use on mobile networks. People won’t want separate subscriptions for their tablet computers, in-car mobile content system, phones and USB broadband wireless modems, Sievert said.

Instead, people may choose an operator that they trust will have the best choice of devices in the future, he said. The operator will provide service to a variety of devices for a set amount of money per month, he said.

Alternatively, “while the world debates what kind of technology wins, the debate becomes unnecessary due to things like SDR and Wi-Fi,” he said. With SDRs and flexible radios, a device could work on a variety of networks. Plus, Wi-Fi could continue to make it easier for users to connect through things like portable hotspots, which connect to a device via Wi-Fi and to the Internet over any number of network technologies.

While other wireless carriers cap data and remove unlimited pricing the good news is Clear continues to offer 4G unlimited data with download speeds of 3-6 mbps for a flat amount. Contact Speed & Mobility at 1-866-912-4774 to learn more about the current Clear special offers and promotions.
