CLEAR 4G Expands into 7 New Markets

June 30th, 2010

It seems like yesterday that Clearwire spun a 4G web around Salt Lake City, St. Louis, and Richmond, VA. Today the web continues to expand as we announce the addition of 7 new cities to our coverage map: Eugene, OR; Merced and Visalia, CA; Syracuse and Rochester, NY; and Tri-Cities and Yakima, WA. This brings the total number of CLEAR 4G markets in the US to 44, covering over 50 million people. Later this year several large market launches including New York City and Los Angeles will put our network reach upwards of 120 million people.

Here is a quick breakdown of each new market:

  • Eugene, OR: 105 square miles of coverage, 75,000 people living within this coverage area
  • Merced and Visalia, CA: 1,130 square miles of coverage, 468,000 people living within this coverage area
  • Tri-Cities and Yakima, WA: 1,450 square miles of coverage, 343,000 people living within this coverage area
  • Syracuse and Rochester, NY: 780 square miles of coverage, 865,000 people living within this coverage area

Clearwire Volunteers Lend a Hand at Bagdad Elementary

This past weekend nearly 80 volunteers from the Clearwire Technical Support Call Center and Bagdad Elementary volunteered their time and energy to rejuvenate the 85 year old school which is located in Milton, Florida. Volunteers shoveled in new sand to freshen up the playground, planted flowers at the school’s entrance, painted, pruned, and set up 28 new flat-screen monitors and keyboards for the students.

The materials for the project cost upwards of $30,000 and were paid for by Clearwire and RockCorps, which is a movement that produces concerts where the only way in is to volunteer four hours of your time on a volunteer project. Toby Garrett of RockCorps kept everyone moving by providing the music. According to Garrett, “The idea is to put gloves on, turn the music up, have a good time and make a difference in four hours.”

Clearwire would like to thank everyone who participated or contributed to make this event possible. Photos of the event can be seen on the Pensacola Local News website.
