Clearwire is now available in three markets in Belgium - Brussels, Leuven and Ghent, the country's third largest city. Clearwire provides an instant Internet solution, using non-line-of-sight WiMAX wireless broadband network technology. There is no software to load and generally no configuring or changes required to the customer's computer. The fast and simple service can be accessed anywhere within Clearwire Belgium's coverage area by simply taking the Clearwire modem out of the box, plugging it in and connecting the Ethernet cord to the customer's computer or to a Wi-Fi router.
Using licensed spectrum to connect to the Internet, Clearwire eliminates traditional cable or phone wiring. The portable service can be moved from place to place inside Clearwire's coverage area, which allows customers to use the service at their home, office, favorite coffee house or anywhere else around the city.
"Ghent is the latest market to receive Clearwire's service as part of the company's expansion in Belgium," said Matthew Ridgwell, Clearwire Belgium's commercial director. "Residents of Ghent now have a better way to access the Internet and one that is simple to use, reliable and suited for use at home or on the go. Unlike its ADSL and cable-based competitors, Clearwire provides Internet access without the expense and inconvenience of a telephone line or TV-cable. Moreover, Clearwire's service is portable and can be used in Ghent as well as in Brussels and Leuven."
