Leading provider of wireless broadband services Clearwire Corporation announced today that users interested in enjoying its CLEAR 4G service on embedded 4G mobile broadband laptops would be able to find these devices available for purchase nationwide via Best Buy stores. According to the company, starting today, users should be able to enjoy more options when it comes to mobile connectivity, as well as discounted equipment offers for embedded WiMAX laptops from Intel, which offer support for its CLEAR 4G fast mobile Internet service.

“Just in time for summer, consumers across the country can future-proof their laptops based on Intel Core processor-based from Best Buy with built-in 4G capability, enabling the devices to easily connect to CLEAR’s super fast mobile Internet service,” the wireless carrier revealed. Users will be able to benefit from true mobile broadband connectivity in all areas where the CLEAR service is available, the carrier noted, adding that the offer would include devices like the Dell Inspiron 14, Dell Inspiron 15, Dell Mini 10, and Toshiba Satellite M645, depending on location.

Users choosing the CLEAR services would benefit from unlimited usage with their monthly plans. The available CLEAR Internet plans start at $40 per month, and users have the possibility to opt for bundled service options for home access that would provide them with additional savings. In case one signs up for a two-year contract agreement with the carrier, one would also benefit from $100 discounts for qualifying embedded 4G mobile broadband devices available for purchase at Best Buy.

“The program from Best Buy to expand the availability of fully embedded, seamlessly integrated WiMAX on laptops based on Intel Core processors will make it even easier for consumers across the country to enjoy the enhanced performance of Clear’s 4G mobile broadband network. During the back to school and holiday shopping seasons, Intel, along with Best Buy and Clearwire will continue to make an unprecedented number of embedded WiMAX laptops and netbooks available from all major PC OEMs,” said Erik Reid, director, Mobile Product Group at Intel.

Mike Sievert, chief commercial officer for Clearwire, added, “Embedding 4G technology into laptops and netbooks makes it easy for consumers to experience CLEAR’s super fast mobile Internet service on the latest devices. The discounted summer and holiday pricing on CLEAR-ready laptops from Intel and available through Best Buy is another way Clearwire is working to meet the rapidly growing demand for true mobile broadband services in the U.S.” Additional info on the CLEAR services can be found here.
