Clearwire Brings Wireless Broadband Internet Service to Stockton, Frees Customers from Confines of Traditional Internet Access

Reliable Broadband Provider Continues California Expansion, Creates Alliance with The Gary and Janice Podesto IMPACT Teen Center to Enrich the Lives of Stockton Youth

STOCKTON , Calif. (June 23, 2005) — Clearwire officially launched its wireless broadband Internet service in Stockton today when company and community leaders cut through a ribbon of coaxial cable and telephone cord at a celebratory luncheon at Hotel Stockton. The Stockton launch marks the expansion of Clearwire’s Central Valley service area just two days after the company launched service in Modesto. The company celebrated the expansion by announcing a local alliance with The Gary and Janice Podesto IMPACT Teen Center.

“Stockton now has a better choice for broadband Internet service that’s simple, affordable and flexible,” said Greg Bell, Clearwire’s general manager for Stockton. “Clearwire will break down the barriers of traditional broadband service, offering consumers high-speed Internet service without wires,” added Clark Peterson, Clearwire’s president of major markets. Peterson, Bell, Stockton Mayor Edward Chavez, Port Chairman Joe Johnson and Mexican-American Chamber CEO Mark Martinez then cut through the cables with several pair of large wire cutters.

In addition to launching its service in Stockton, Clearwire also announced a new local partnership with The Gary and Janice Podesto IMPACT Teen Center. Clearwire will donate broadband-speed Internet access the Center, powering both its Computer Lab for teens and staff offices. In addition, the company will donate $2,500 to the organization to support ongoing programs.

“We’re pleased to announce today that Clearwire has formed a local partnership with The Gary and Janice Podesto IMPACT Teen Center, making the organization our first customer in Stockton,” said Bell. “The Teen Center is a place that is meant to provide teens with a safe place to gather, have fun and learn. We’re happy to help support that by providing the staff and Computer Lab with wireless broadband Internet to enhance the services the Center provides.”

Clearwire deploys a next-generation, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) technology that allows customers to connect to the Internet via a signal sent across the airwaves rather than across wires. The company sends the signal from a transmitter to a specially developed receiver box that plugs into the customer’s computer instead of connecting to traditional coaxial cable or telephone wires. Customers simply plug the receiver into a wall outlet and into their computer to gain high-speed access to the Internet from any room inside or outside their home or office.

“Clearwire is ‘next-generation broadband’ — broadband Internet service delivered to the consumer in a manner that is easier to get, set up and use than any other option currently offered,” said Bell. “You can buy the service at select local retailers, take it home, set it up and be online in minutes. It’s plug-and-play installation — no need for a technician to come into your home and no need to load software onto your computer to make it work. In addition, you can move the service from place-to-place inside our coverage area, which allows you to use Clearwire throughout your home, at the office or at your favorite coffee house. As long as you have access to a power source, you can be online.”

Clearwire service is currently available to approximately 132,000 homes in the Stockton area. The service is sold at several authorized retailers in the area, as well as at Clearwire’s sales center in the Sherwood Mall, toll-free at 888-CLEARWIRE and online at www.clearwire.com.

Stockton is the second city in California and the latest city to receive Clearwire’s service as part of its nationwide expansion. Clearwire launched service in Modesto on Tuesday and will expand to Visalia and Merced within the next month.

“We’re excited about providing the community reliable, broadband-speed Internet access with flexibility they’ve never had before,” said Peterson. “And of course, we’re pleased to be expanding our Central Valley coverage area, which now includes both Stockton and Modesto and their surrounding communities.”

Clearwire is led by Craig McCaw, one of the early pioneers in providing cellular phone service in the U.S. in the early 1980s. His company, McCaw Cellular, grew to be the largest U.S. cellular service provider and was later acquired by AT&T.

Clearwire drew national attention in the summer of 2004 when it announced it would deploy wireless broadband technology in select markets across the country. Since then, Clearwire launched its first market in Jacksonville, Fla. followed by Abilene, Texas, and St. Cloud, Minn. Earlier this year, the company launched service in Daytona Beach, Medford, Oregon, and earlier this week, the company launched service in Modesto, marking its entry into California.
