External Home Modem For CLEAR 4G WiMAX Customers
Those of you who have been regular subscribers to our website, were already aware that we’ve been working with a Texas based radio engineering firm to develop a “solution” regarding current CLEAR home modems that can’t accept a connection to an external antenna.
That status just changed for the better. We’ve moved from theory, to proof of concept, to actual units in the field for testing, as of Sunday, July 11th.
We now have a solution for an external antenna / modem arrangement that is undergoing limited beta testing in San Antonio at select CLEAR customer sites, where their signal is less than to be desired, due to terrain and distance from the nearest CLEAR tower site. We can’t create a signal out of thin air where there isn’t one, but we can enhance the receive signal where the signal is weak, in many cases, with our better antenna design and ability to mount it where can get a better signal. If you are already getting 4 or 5 bars, or even just 3, on your home CLEAR 4G modem, you probably won’t be interested in what we’ve done.
Our solution won’t be the perfect one for everybody, but we think most of those who cough up the money for the conversion will be happy with the results.
Our solution uses the same MAC address registered with CLEAR, and remains within the specs of the original FCC Type Acception. We did not alter the existing specs regarding effective power output or range of temperature operation. We’ve tested it up to 56 degrees Celsius (about133 degrees Fahrenheit), which is hotter than the original specs, and the modem kept on working, within FCC & manufacturer specs.
We use some very expensive, sophisticated electronics radio gear to measure, test and adjust the built-in radio that is the modem, just to keep in specs and enhance performance. Every conversion is tested by a certified radio engineer, prior to shipping or delivery back to the paying customer. We only use, or convert, authorized CLEAR issued Motorola 4G WiMax modems, not a third party solution. We provide before & after printed reports FROM THE M OTOROLA MODEM ITSELF, to let you compare the improvement in reception abilities after we have done our part.
