2013/2/28 - Clearwire Debuts New CLEAR(R) Professional Service for Small and Midsized Businesses

"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 15^th 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."
