regional offices and headquarters are to receive a major increase
in bandwidth to the Government network, following an agreement with
the licensed wireless network provider, AirSpeed Telecom.
The regional authority will increase bandwidth from 2Mbps to
10Mbps for its offices in An Daingean, Co. Kerry and An Bun Beag,
Co. Donegal, while its headquarters in Na Forbacha, Co. Galway will
link into the network at 50Mbps. The expanded connectivity will
enhance the authority's ability to fulfil its mission of promoting
the economic, social and cultural development of the Gaeltacht.
The agreement also expands the reach of the AirSpeed network into
new areas -- including Kerry, Ennis, parts of Galway and Donegal --
which means that local businesses will now be able to access
high-speed services equal to those available in urban areas.
AirSpeed provides uncontended, high-bandwidth services of up to
800Mbps to businesses and government organisations, including
HEAnet, BreastCheck (NCSS) and RTE.
