Clearwire's new Rover service offers prepaid 4G access via Rover Puck and Rover Stick 4G data devices.
Clearwire today unveiled Rover, a prepaid 4G mobile broadband service for tech-savvy consumers. Rover is available in all of Clearwire's 49 4G markets across the U.S. at rover.com. Rover is also available at CLEAR stores, Best Buy stores and select independent wireless dealers in Houston and St. Louis.
 Rover's flagship device is the Rover Puck, an ergonomically designed portable Wi-Fi hotspot that lets you share mobile broadband access with up to eight devices. The Rover Puck can easily slip into a purse or backpack and serve as an on-the-go mobile broadband access point for devices such as laptops, netbooks, the iPad, the iPod touch, smartphones, PSP systems, game consoles, and Wi-Fi enabled digital cameras, among others.
The Rover Puck features mobile download speeds of 3-6 Mbps, with bursts over 10 Mbps, using Clearwire's 4G network. The Rover Puck is available today for $150.
Clearwire also made available the Rover Stick, a personal 4G USB modem that connects any netbook, laptop or desktop to the Rover 4G service. It costs $100.
Rover Plans
New users receive two free days of service to ensure Rover's metro-focused 4G coverage fits their mobile lifestyle. Rover has a 14-day return policy for any device purchases made on rover.com or in CLEAR stores.
Rover is priced at $5/day, $20/week, or $50/month for unlimited 4G internet usage. Depending on the retail channel, customers will be able to purchase a Rover Re-Up PIN code or physical Rover Re-Up card in $20 or $50 denominations. Rover does not require a credit card to activate service and is designed to bring mobile broadband access to a new audience.
