8Mbps wireless broadband across Ireland by Ripplecom

Ripplecom have upgraded their core network to deliver a 10GB core which makes it possible for the company to roll out their new 8Mbps service in rural and semi-urban areas across Ireland.

The Wireless broadband provider company, which claim to be Ireland’s largest wireless ISP by geographic area, has worked closely with specialist network integrator Telindus to upgrade their core network.

The next-generation network is built on Juniper MX and EX technology and will allow Ripplecom to provide up to 8Mbps broadband and voice services nationally.

“This investment gives us the ability to compete with the next-generation broadband speeds of the main players in the Irish marketplace. But more importantly it delivers this capability right out to semi-urban and rural areas also, thus allowing residential customers and businesses all over Ireland to take advantage of high-speed broadband, regardless of their location. Working with Telindus and Juniper means Ripplecom can now deliver a scalable broadband solution to 30,000 subscribers offering a better service and a more competitive choice to customers who have previously felt that they had no option,”

Ripplecom CTO Diarmuid O’Briain.

Free wi-fi for rail users

Rail users can make use of free wi-fi internet access on selected Dublin to Cork services, Iarnrod Eireann has said.

An initial trial of the service will last six months while rail chiefs assess the uptake.

Iarnrod Eireann said coverage was strong on the Dublin to Cork line, with access to mobile broadband networks from O2, Vodafone and 3.

If successful, the service will be rolled out to other routes including Intercity, DART and Commuter services.

“Many customers are already travelling with us because rail travel offers the scope to use travel time productively,” said an Iarnrod Eireann spokesman.

“Wi-fi obviously broadens such scope dramatically.”

Tests have shown that passengers should be able to get download speeds of up to 3.5 megabytes.
