Roll-out of 4G Internet network to create 200 jobs

Around 200 new jobs are set to be created as a result of the roll-out of a new high-speed 4G Internet network across the country.

The Irish-owned communications firm Imagine says it will provide high-speed access to 90pc of the country by 2012 through its new WiMax technology.

Phase one of the scheme, which covers a quarter of a million homes, will be completed by the middle of next month.

One hundred million euro is being invested in the project.

According to an e-mailed statement from Motorola today, the company's Home & Networks Mobility business has been chosen by Imagine to replace it's existing wireless infrastructure nationwide.”

Cheers for the info Mooley.

lets hope they get it right mooley, it would be a great product and maybe kick current IP's into upgrading their current services

Well from what I've been told eircom had a meeting this week to discuss the fact Vodafone have bought BT BB over here and are going to be majorly upgrading very very soon and now so is imagine. Seems eircom are last to move their ass! Thats what the meeting was about, where to go from here!

its about time too, it is not so bad if you are in dublin, but the rest of the country needs to be rolled out quicker.

Personally I reckon Eircom are garbage. Even the employees think so! Rip off merchants. And their the only one blocking sites.

never actually used their product, because there price was too much, the best deal i found was enteehell when i looked into it this time last year, my contract is almost up, time to bug them about getting more for less money
