AirSpeed Telecom, the telecommunications company which operates a nationwide wireless radio transmission network, has been awarded significant 26GHz licensed radio spectrum for the Galway area. The move will enable businesses and public sector customers in the Galway region to meet increasing demands for faster communications.

The licenses awarded to AirSpeed Telecom by ComReg means that customers can now avail of affordable data services, high-speed internet access and managed network services. The high capacity uncontended services, which include WAN (wide area network) and LAN (local area network) extension services, will also have scalable bandwidth of 10Mbps to 100Mbps and beyond.

This investment, which is part of an ongoing €5 million investment plan by AirSpeed Telecom, will allow business users in the Galway area to access significant bandwidth services which can be rapidly deployed and, therefore, offer customers the ability to quickly align communications needs with business opportunities.

Tim McCarthy, Business Development Manager with AirSpeed Telecom, says:

"The 26GHz licensed radio spectrum permits AirSpeed Telecom to bring bandwidth services of up to 100Mbps to users in the Galway region. Internet users will see a considerable difference with the uncontended services and the increased capacity allows us to achieve our ambitious development plans to expand AirSpeed Telecom services in the region."

AirSpeed Telecom operates a nationwide wireless radio transmission network which offers businesses high capacity connectivity in locations where traditional leased line, DSL and IP services are poorly resourced.

AirSpeed Telecom was recently shortlisted for the 'Telecommunications Company of the Year' category in the 2008 ICT Excellence Awards
