Clearwire Communications, LLC, a subsidiary of Clearwire Corporation, and wireless carrier Sprint have announced on Thursday that they plan to deliver 4G mobile Internet services in a series of new markets around the United States before the end of the ongoing year, and that these services will be offered by each company under its own 4G brand.

The new markets that will soon benefit from 4G services include Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh, North Carolina; Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth and San Antonio, Texas, all of which should see 4G available in November, as well as Honolulu and Maui, Hawaii, which will receive the service starting with early December. Additional network expansions through the markets should be seen both by consumers and by business customers, and the two companies also announced they would advertise their services properly.

“The 4G customer experience from Clearwire and Sprint is unlike any other wireless service available today from any national carrier. Customers in these cities will now be able to increase their mobility and productivity in many ways: from instantly downloading large files to get work done on the run, browsing the web just like at home from across the city, or watching online videos and movies while travelling in the family car around town,” the duo said in the press release announcing the upcoming launch.

The 4G Internet services will come to the aforementioned markets via Clearwire's WiMAX-based network. Users can enjoy either the company’s 4G service, which is branded CLEAR, enabling them to benefit from high-speed Internet connectivity both when they are at home and when they are on the go, or Sprint’s 4G service, branded Sprint 4G. The wireless carrier has already announced that it offers Sprint 3G/4G dual mode products for its users, so that they can benefit both from the newly launched 4G services, as well as from the already available, though slower, 3G connectivity.
