\n\tThe corridor runs from Ballycoolin in Dublin through Athlone to Galway, before continuing south through Shannon and Limerick to Cork, linking major regional hubs and digital infrastructure locations.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe route includes key interconnection points in Dublin, Athlone, Galway, Shannon and Limerick, supporting high-capacity transmission across the corridor and enabling connectivity between major urban centres and data centre locations.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe underlying infrastructure consists of multiple 25\/20 subducts running along the full route, supporting scalable fibre deployment by multiple operators.<\/p>\n
\n\tDesigned as a high-speed, ultra-low latency fibre route, the network supports high-capacity optical transmission with regeneration capability along the corridor, enabling long-distance transmission while maintaining performance.<\/p>\n
\n\tOperators can access the infrastructure through a range of deployment options including:<\/p>\n
\n\t
\n\t\tLong term dub-duct or micro duct access
\n\t
\n\t\tAccess to high speed, low latency fibre
\n\t
\n\t\tWaves & managed bandwidth
\n\t
\n\t\tQuantum security products
<\/p>\n
\n\tResilient connectivity options interconnecting with national rail fibre with a Phase 2 option that will extend products and connectivity across the south and east coast of Ireland<\/p>\n
\n\tPhase 1 of the network forms part of Enet\u2019s wider national ring network initiative, which will represent a combined investment of approximately \u20ac100 million once all phases are complete. The project forms part of Enet\u2019s broader strategy to expand open access fibre infrastructure across Ireland, supporting growing demand driven by cloud services, data centre connectivity, sub-sea interconnects and increasing network traffic.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe route is now available to telecom operators and infrastructure providers through Enet\u2019s open access network platform.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tDemand for fibre infrastructure continues to grow as telecom operators, data centre providers and international carriers expand capacity across Ireland.<\/p>\n
\n\t\tPeter McCarthy, CEO of Speed Fibre Group<\/p>\n
\n\t\tBy opening this network on an open access basis, we are enabling operators to deploy fibre infrastructure more efficiently while strengthening connectivity between Ireland\u2019s major regional hubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
