Pinnacle Takes Its Sales and Marketing Expertise to the 4G Mobile WiMAX Market
Clear Wireless LLC Signs Agreeament to Outsource Door-to-Door Sales of Wireless Internet Services
Orem, UT (March 19, 2009) — Utah-based Pinnacle Security, one of the nation’s top residential and commercial security corporations, recently signed a national agreement with Clear Wireless LLC, a subsidiary of Clearwire Corporation, allowing the company to sell 4G mobile WiMAX service, called ClearTM, door to door.
“The agreement between Pinnacle and Clearwire allows our company to be the exclusive door-to-door direct sales agent of Clear mobile WiMAX service. We are confident this service will be in high demand and look forward to sharing it with consumers nationally,” said Christopher B. Munday, Chairman and CEO of Pinnacle Security.
This third-party exclusive arrangement will enable Pinnacle to offer customers a better wireless service at a lower price than what many are currently paying. The added service also allows Pinnacle to provide more growth and development opportunities for its employees. The company’s sales representatives have had successful pilot programs with Clear and expect to expand on this success in the months ahead. Clear is a high-speed mobile Internet service that is not only affordable but easy to implement as well.
With a residential modem, Clear can deliver up to 6 Mbps download speeds, while mobile customers can expect up to 4 Mbps. Mobile users simply plug in Clear’s compact, mobile WiMAX-enabled USB modem into their laptop and they may activate service anywhere in Clear’s coverage area. Residential customers receive a small, wireless high-speed modem they can plug into a power outlet anywhere in their home or office and then connect the modem to their PC. Consumers and businesses can install high-speed Internet service without scheduling an appointment or drilling unsightly holes in their walls—a big selling point for many customers.
“As part of a comprehensive sales distribution strategy, we are committed to offering a variety of ways for consumers to sign up for Clear service,” said Jim Ryder, Senior Vice President of Sales for Clear Wireless. “Teaming up with Pinnacle will enable us to provide a personal, door-to-door sales organization, which will serve as a nice complement to our retail, wholesale and online channels. With Clear, consumers will receive an unmatched combination of speed and mobility while accessing the Internet.”
“We are very excited about this partnership that couples Clear’s innovative products with Pinnacle’s sales and marketing expertise,” said Munday.
