What is CLEAR internet ?

CLEAR 4G (WiMAX) is next generation mobile internet from Clearwire that works as fast around town as it does at home.
Because CLEAR covers a wide area you don't have to find a hotspot the hotspot goes with you, anywhere CLEAR has coverage.
CLEAR mobile internet is 4 times faster than 3G. So do the same things on the go, at speeds as fast as at home:

-Watch live sports on a train
- Email a huge presentation from the park
- Let your kids play online games while you get your hair cut

WiMAX is defined as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access by the WiMAX Forum, formed in June 2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the IEEE 802.16 standard, officially known as WirelessMAN. WiMAX aims to provide wireless data over long distances, in a variety of different ways, from point to point links to full mobile cellular type access. In practical terms this enables a user, for example, to browse the Internet on a laptop computer without physically connecting the laptop to a wall jack. The Forum describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL."

 

How to use CLEAR internet ?

There are few different ways you can connect to the CLEAR 4G WiMAX network – via a home modem, a USB modem for your mobile devices or a WiMAX ready laptop.

Today’s mobile networks were mostly designed for making phone calls (using 3G or Third Generation technology).
However, the CLEAR 4G (WiMAX) network is being built with the internet in mind (using 4G technology). What does that mean?
That means service that goes beyond today's 2G, 3G and even Wi-Fi hotspots. Expect a better online experience for email, videos or music downloads and whatever you need to get done on the web.
