8 'Fibre-to-the-building' technology to deliver world-leading speeds
ESB AND VODAFONE have signed
an innovative joint venture agreement
to invest €450 million in building a
100% fibre-to-the-building broadband
network offering speeds from 200
Mbps to 1000 Mbps, propelling Ireland
into the ranks of the world's fastest
broadband countries.
Ireland will also become the first
country in Europe to utilise existing
electricity
infrastructure
on
a
nationwide basis to deploy fibre directly
into homes and businesses, initially
reaching 500,000 premises in 50 towns.
The fibre will be deployed on ESB's
existing overhead and underground
infrastructure, ensuring a fast and cost
efficient roll-out to every county in
Ireland and reversing the digital divide
between the capital and regional towns.
With recent data from ComReg, the
Irish telecoms regulator, showing that
43% of fixed broadband customers
in Ireland receive speeds of 10 Mbps
or less, direct access to 100% fibre
broadband of up to one gigabit per
second will transform the internet
experience of small and medium
businesses (SME), remote workers and
consumers.
This will help regional areas to
compete more effectively for investment
and jobs, and SMEs to work more
efficiently, enhance their online presence
and reach new markets and customers.
Consumers will enjoy innovations
ranging from home entertainment to
e-health and virtual education.
Home working will also become a
real option for more people, helping
Ireland to develop its smart economy.
With global internet traffic set to triple
in the next five years , the speed and
reliability delivered by 100% fibre
broadband will ensure Irish customers
can lead the digital lives they want.
