In a move to expand the availability
of top-class broadband services outside the Dublin area, the
Government has invested EUR 70 million in building a broadband
platform around 27 cities and towns which is making fibre, duct,
sub-duct and co-location facilities available to telecoms services
providers and carriers. Network operators have access to all of their
networks' geographic and functional components and can track,
document, and monitor an unlimited number of circuit wavelengths for
each physical fiber path while O+M staff can initiate queries from any
physical point in the network, including the field. For more
information please visit the e-net web site at www.
