14 DAY TRIAL // Clearwire, a pioneer in 4G technology and the developer of the first 4G network in the US, has just announced the launch of the Clear Modem with Wi-Fi, a device fully compatible with the company's super fast CLEAR 4G services.
The company said that the new Clear Modem with Wi-Fi is “part of a growing ecosystem of nearly 70 devices on the market today that enable customers to connect to CLEAR 4G.”
The device supports Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista 32/64, Windows 7 32/64 and Mac OS8 or higher, and offers secure Wi-Fi connectivity.
“Now our customers can get broadband Wi-Fi internet throughout their house, with one simple device about the size of a book - and without a rat's nest of wires,” said Mike Sievert, Chief Commercial Officer at Clearwire.
“Our new Clear Modem with Wi-Fi makes it easier than ever to connect the Wi-Fi devices that customers already have at home, such as laptops and desktops, tablets, iPods, and smartphones, without needing a wired connection to the cable or phone company.”
Clearwire claims that its 4G network offers average mobile download speeds of 3 to 6 Mbps with bursts of over 10 Mbps.
Clearwire customers have multiple ways of connecting to the CLEAR 4G service, in addition to the Clear Modem with Wi-Fi, by using a mobile device or a 4G-enabled laptop or netbook.
The Clear Modem with Wi-Fi is available now and can be purchased for $120 from the company's retail stores, as well as authorized dealers starting this week. Customers can also lease the modem for just $7 per month.
The company's monthly data service starts at $35 and customers can also add extra services such as home voice service with unlimited local and long distance calling in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, for another $15 per month.
