As Temperatures Start to Drop – Clearwire Heats Up

September 22nd, 2009    

Last week was quite the week here at Clearwire.  With two announcements and a solid executive presence at the next generation mobile industry’s premier event, 4G World – where we took home two out of five industry awards – Clearwire kicked off the fall with a flurry of activity.

Held in Chicago, the 4G World conference and expo boasts attendance by the who’s-who of the mobile broadband ecosystem including the likes of Sprint, Cisco, Samsung, Motorola, Beceem, Amdocs, Ericsson and Nokia.

Our own CEO, Bill Morrow, delivered a featured keynote to open the second day of the event, in which he explored the value of 4G in the eyes of the consumer.  Addressing a standing-room only crowd, Bill discussed the growing demand for mobile broadband, the life-changing impact of 4G WiMAX for consumers, and how the technology – and Clearwire – is already enabling people to connect to the real ‘magic of the internet.’

This message was bolstered at the conference by a Clearwire team attending in force – including EVP of Strategy, Policy and External Affairs, Gerry Salemme; CTO, John Saw; CCO, Mike Sievert; Strategic Advisor, Scott Richardson; President of International, Barry West; and spectrum development manager, Tajit Mehta – who all participated in discussions or summits on various 4G subjects.

In addition to these many speaking engagements, Clearwire was also honored with two 4G World awards: Best WiMAX Network Deployment for our CLEAR 4G service, and Best Backhaul Deployment, acknowledging the engineering, design and delivery of our 4G WiMAX Backhaul Network.

While 4G World was announcing us a winner, we were also making some announcements of our own – the successful launch of our Silicon Valley Innovation Network, and new partnership with international WiMAX operators, Yota of Russia and UQ in Japan.

A banner week – and we’re just getting warmed up.

CLEAR WiMAX came to The Entertainment Capital of The World on July 21, and Las Vegas celebrated the way that only Las Vegas can. The launch event at the Town Square Mall was a huge success, featuring product demonstrations, talks from CLEAR executives, refreshments, tons of giveaways and prizes, and even a wire-cutting ceremony with a special appearance by the Honorable Oscar B. Goodman, Mayor of Las Vegas!

Supporting the community is also a key focus of CLEAR, as the day marked a donation of WiMAX-enabled laptops to the Clark County School District’s Virtual High School. As you can see from the smiles in these photos, it was a great day for CLEAR, and a great day for Las Vegas. You can find more pictures from the event at Facebook.com/CLEARinsider, and stay tuned for more news about upcoming launch events.

Clear Gears Up to Show Philly Some LOVE!

November 2nd, 2009    

The time is almost here…we’re just a few days away from CLEAR’s colossal launch in the city of brotherly love! In anticipation of the launch, over the past few weeks CLEAR has been showing Philadelphia some major love!

Aside from introducing Philadelphians to CLEAR’s 4G network with our impressive demos, many folks have been flying high this week with our balloon teases that have been taking place all across the city. For 10 days leading up to launch, balloons have been strategically placed in areas like LOVE Park, Temple University and outside Geno’s Steaks in South Philly. The objective–pop a balloon and you win a prize! So make sure you keep your eye out for those green balloons! Speaking of balloons, on Friday folks taking a drive along the Schuylkill Riveron 76 would have seen quite a sight, the 80-foot-tall CLEAR Hot Air Balloon was flying high as commuters headed to work.

Another exciting attraction that happened this weekend aside from CLEAR’s aerial banner flying high over the World Series and the Eagles game is the famed LOVE Park fountain turning GREEN!! Now that’s not something you see every day. And if you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard about our huge launch event happening this week in LOVE Park, then you don’t know that LOVE Park is now one massive HOTSPOT! That’s right! Folks who come to the park can now try out CLEAR’s 4G network themselves to see what all the hype is about! One thing Philadelphians have also probably seen around town is CLEAR’s impressive showroom…it’s literally a living room on wheels! It’s definitely been an attention-getter!
