Clearwire Communications, an operating subsidiary of Clearwire, stated that Atlanta is now home to the largest 4G WiMAX wireless broadband network in the United States, with Clear service available to nearly three million people across approximately 1,200 square miles.

"By delivering broadband connectivity to people, and not just places, we now offer Atlantans the freedom to enjoy super-fast Internet access wherever they go in our coverage area," said Marc Brachman, General Manager of Atlanta market for Clearwire. "Whether it's a busy parent who wants full Internet connectivity in the back of the family minivan, a small business owner looking to conduct online video chats with customers from the field, a person looking to access entertainment sites like Hulu without being tied to a fixed-location, or a college student simply looking for one Internet service provider to meet their needs at home and on-the-go, Clear delivers. We're providing a valuable, new kind of Internet service designed to make our customers' lives more enjoyable and more productive, wherever they happen to be in our coverage area."
Clear said its customers can expect to see download speeds of 4 to 6 Mbps with bursts exceeding 15 Mbps, far surpassing even the peak theoretical speeds of 7.2 Mbps in upcoming 3G upgrades. In Atlanta, the Clear network utilizes an area-wide WiMAX radio system from Motorola.
