How It Works
Mobile Citizen provides the most advanced, reliable and secure mobile broadband service exclusively to education and non-profit organizations at remarkably low cost. Unlike other broadband services, Mobile Citizen's wireless broadband is powered by WiMAX, a 4G technology from Clearwire Corporation, the country's leading mobile broadband network provider.
Mobile Citizen's service offers schools, universities and non-profit organizations access to the Internet at speeds comparable to cable and DSL technology plus the mobility of cellular phone services. With features like secure, reliable, high performance connections; no phone or cable requirements; anytime/anywhere access and favorable service pricing, Mobile Citizen wireless broadband is a more affordable and more flexible alternative to cable, DSL and 3G data services.
Mobile Citizen offers three premium service packages to education and non-profit organizations. Each of these services offers unlimited Internet usage allowing you to stay online as long as you want without worrying about overage charges.

CLEAR Spot creates a fully portable, secure WiFi network from any activated CLEAR USB modem anywhere within the CLEAR WiMAX coverage area.

Never search for a hotspot again, take it with you wherever you go.
2.5 GHz Spectrum Expertise
Mobile Citizen's broadband service is possible because its five EBS licensees, headed by John Schwartz, worked to preserve the broadest range of EBS spectrum value for the education and non-profit sectors. Recognized for their 2.5 GHz spectrum management expertise, these EBS licensees have forged relationships across the U.S. establishing a new national footprint for the 2.5 GHz, the spectrum of choice for WiMAX technology.
