Clearwire Corporation (Nasdaq:CLWR), a leading provider of 4G
wireless broadband services in the U.S., today announced CLEAR
Professional, a 4G wireless broadband service for small and
midsized businesses, as well as enterprise branch locations.
"We are thrilled to offer CLEAR Professional to meet the demands
of small to medium-sized businesses that are utterly dependent on
the internet, yet still may suffer from internet connections that
are both slow and unreliable," said Dow Draper, senior vice
president and general manager of retail at Clearwire. "CLEAR
Professional provides options of primary internet service and
dependable backup internet service, each designed to help ensure
connectivity for mission-critical applications. No longer do
companies have to wait weeks or even months for a fast internet
connection. And for businesses with adequate internet connections,
CLEAR Professional Backup Internet, with unlimited data, supports
the goal of these businesses to never miss a beat."
87% of corporate managers in the U.S. say that internet
communications technology plays a key role in supporting sales and
marketing operations, according to Larstan Business Reports.
"If my internet goes down during the dinner rush, it's chaos.
With CLEAR Professional Backup Internet, I don't need to worry
about it," said Brad Breakell, owner of Pizzalchik Family
Restaurant in Boise, Idaho.
CLEAR Professional runs on Clearwire's 4G network in
approximately 80 cities across the U.S. and is available beginning
March 18, 2013 with the following master agent dealers: X4
Solutions, Telecom Brokerage, Inc., WTG, and Resource
Communications Group. It includes three types of plans designed to
meet the unique needs of small and midsized businesses:
- CLEAR Professional – Broadband Internet is for
businesses seeking primary internet service. Available with Basic
or Premium service options, the cost ranges from $30 to $120 per
month2. Both services include unlimited1 data use, no overage fees,
and 24x7 year round technical support. Premium service provides
additional benefits such as a free setup support call, cloud-based
management, next-day device replacement, life-of-customer device
warranty3, and more.
- CLEAR Professional – Backup Internet keeps
businesses connected automatically if their primary internet
service goes down. The cost of service ranges from $24 to $45 per
month2, based on the contract term length and the business' number
of locations. All Backup Internet service plans include Premium
features.
- CLEAR Professional – Broadband + Backup
Internet is for those businesses that rely on their
primary internet service for voice services or multiple static IP
addresses, but need faster internet access. It's also designed for
companies that provide dedicated third party internet access to
customers or vendors. CLEAR Professional Broadband+Backup
Internet service provides a fast, secure secondary
connection. Plus, if either provider's service goes down,
CLEAR Professional automatically routes all traffic to the
remaining connection. The cost of service ranges from $45 to $115
per month2 and includes Premium features.
"We use CLEAR Professional at four field locations," said Pete
Vallianatos of the Walsh Group, the 15th largest construction
company in the U.S. located in Chicago. "I was amazed at how fast
it was installed, and the internet service is outstanding."
