Ideal Customer
- Clearwave Fiber serves small, medium, and large enterprise business customers, explicitly marketing to companies at all size tiers with tiered products (Business Class Internet for SMBs, Dedicated Internet Access and Metro Ethernet for enterprises).
- Their sweet spot appears to be businesses in small cities and underserved markets in the Midwest and Southeast that require reliable, locally supported fiber connectivity — particularly multi-location organizations needing Metro Ethernet, healthcare and retail businesses needing secure dedicated connections, and SMBs seeking fully managed connectivity with local support.
Key Differentiators
- Clearwave Fiber's primary differentiators are its 100% fiber-owned network (no copper, no shared infrastructure), deeply local sales and support teams that live and work in the communities they serve, and a white-glove managed service approach from implementation through ongoing account management.
- They position themselves against large national carriers by emphasizing local presence, SLA-backed performance guarantees, no data caps, and customized bandwidth plans.
Industries Served
- Clearwave Fiber serves a broad range of business segments including small-to-medium businesses, large enterprise, education (e.g., Rockdale County Public Schools is noted as one of their largest customers), healthcare, retail (SmartBiz features a dedicated point-of-sale network), and commercial real estate/multi-location businesses via Metro Ethernet.
- Their legacy Clearwave Communications entity also has a documented history of connecting healthcare institutions, schools, libraries, hospitals, and public safety facilities under federal broadband programs.
Service Coverage
- Clearwave Fiber operates a 100% fiber network across the Midwest and Southeast United States, primarily serving communities in Georgia, Florida, Illinois, and Kansas.
- The company has built more than 10,000 route miles of fiber infrastructure and set a goal of reaching more than 500,000 homes and businesses by end of 2026.
Partnerships
- No major named UCaaS, VoIP platform, or technology vendor partnerships (e.g., Cisco, Microsoft, RingCentral, or Broadsoft) have been publicly disclosed by Clearwave Fiber.
- Their SmartBiz managed Wi-Fi product uses cloud-based software and the CommandWorx app for network management, suggesting a third-party platform relationship, though the vendor is not publicly named.
Company Size & Ownership
- Clearwave Fiber was founded in January 2022 and is headquartered in Savannah, GA, with approximately 400–427 employees as of mid-2026 (growing ~14% year-over-year per Crustdata).
- ZoomInfo estimates annual revenue at approximately $39 million, though this figure is an estimate.
Compliance & Certifications
- No publicly documented SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, or ISO 27001 certifications have been identified for Clearwave Fiber specifically.
