CLearwire Launches Next-Generation Wireless Broadband Service in Jacksonville, Florida

Jacksonville Businesses and Residents to Enjoy High-Speed Internet Access In and Around Town

Dallas, Texas - January 7, 2003 - Clearwire Technologies announced today the deployment of next-generation wireless broadband service in Jacksonville, Florida - the largest U.S. commercial launch of its kind. Clearwire is using technology from wireless broadband pioneer IPWireless to offer the simplest and most convenient high-speed Internet access to businesses and residents of Jacksonville. Clearwire will fill a critical need in the market by providing powerful, reliable, and affordable wireless, high-speed Internet service to businesses and consumers in many areas of Jacksonville where DSL and cable service are not available. The magnitude of this major market launch demonstrates Clearwire's emergence as an innovator and leading provider of next-generation broadband services.

"This is a major step forward for the broadband industry in the United States," said Claudia Bacco, president of TeleChoice. "For broadband wireless to emerge as a legitimate competitor to DSL and cable, it has to go where these wired technologies cannot in terms of coverage and convenience for businesses and consumers. With Clearwire's launch, many businesses and consumers that have been broadband-deprived will now have an option available to them. Those users that have been waiting for a portable, and eventually a mobile, broadband connection that they can take with them will also have a solution available to them via broadband wireless."

"We are proud to launch the nation's largest licensed wireless broadband network and look forward to providing Jacksonville businesses and residents with the ultimate broadband experience," said Leo Cyr, president and COO, Clearwire Technologies. "Our research shows that up to 20 percent of residential customers in Jacksonville have no access to high-speed Internet, and up to 50 percent of local businesses cannot access DSL. Thanks to cutting-edge technology from IPWireless, Clearwire will not only connect users to the Internet, but also allow them to take that connection with them around our coverage area in Jacksonville - at home, in the office, or around town. That kind of flexibility offers a whole new level of service and convenience that people want and need."

This announcement culminates a year of foundation building by Clearwire that included securing access to one of the largest 2.5 GHz spectrum positions in the country, implementing a world-class technical support organization and order management system, and completing extensive lab and field trials with a number of equipment vendors to determine the most efficient and cost-effective network infrastructure available for deployment. Clearwire selected IPWireless as its vendor of choice because its UMTS standards-based technology offers several key advantages, including a no-hassle installation, a non-line-of-sight connection, and a broadband modem that is small, attractive, and battery-powered, yet robust enough to run a local area network of multiple computers either in homes or offices.

"Clearwire's Jacksonville system will utilize FCC licensed spectrum in the 2.5 GHz Instructional Television Fixed Service ("ITFS") band, which is licensed to non-profit educational entities and institutions. Access to this spectrum has been provided under lease agreements with the Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network, Inc. and the Duval County Public School System. "We are very excited to be a part of this launch," said Jose Luis Rodriguez, President of HITN. "We look forward to demonstrating and implementing new and innovative educational applications utilizing portable, broadband services in Jacksonville."

With a management team experienced in all aspects of the telecom industry, Clearwire is positioned for rapid, profitable expansion into new, previously underserved markets. The Jacksonville deployment will serve the city's expanding business and residential community. With a single network, Clearwire will be able to offer fixed, portable and mobile broadband services - permitting high-speed Internet access anywhere there is coverage availability. Businesses, residents and visitors can leverage the completely plug-and-play, pocket-sized modem to gain Internet access in and around Jacksonville. Over the next several years, Clearwire plans to expand its broadband service to additional cities. For more information, visit www.clearwire.com or call 1-888-333-0825.
