Can outdoor antenna allow reception outside clear's wimax coverage area?
Would this antenna/modem combination allow me to receive Clear's Wimax signal from outside their current coverage area? If so, approximately how away from the nearest Clear Wimax transmitter can I be and still receive signal?

No this is not the intent of these high gain WiMax antennas. We don't expect it to extend coverage outside coverage areas but rather to improve it in areas within coverage areas experiencing ...
