Telecom Lead America: Clearwire Corporation, a
provider of 4G wireless broadband services offering services in areas of the
U.S has announced that New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and
Seattle will be among the 31 cities where the company will launch its TDD-LTE
network during the first half of 2013.
The company will announce the additional cities where it
will launch TDD-LTE service at a later date.
The company said that the deployment of Clearwire’s TDD-LTE
network will target high demand “hot zones” in main urban centers
where demand for 4G mobile broadband access is soaring and the need for deep 4G
capacity resources is most acute.
“Our new 4G network will show that not all LTE networks
are created equal. Clearwire’s LTE Advanced-ready network will deploy our deep
spectrum resources for the next great era in mobile broadband in which capacity
is king. We’re positioned to bring much needed capacity on a wholesale basis to
address the unbridled demand for mobile data and the scarcity of spectrum in
major urban and suburban markets,” said Erik Prusch, president and CEO of
Clearwire.
Clearwire’s LTE Advanced-ready network will be a major
advancement over the current LTE networks deployed in the U.S.
Clearwire reckons that its LTE Advanced-ready network will
further strengthen its next-generation 4G mobile broadband technology, which is
capable of serving the current and anticipated future demands of wholesale and
retail customers.
