Thirty new jobs have been created under the Government's National Broadband Scheme in Co Westmeath, it was announced today.
Mullingar-based Satellite Broadband is taking on the extra staff after being awarded a contract to provide broadband services to homes and businesses in rural Ireland.
The €223 million National Broadband Scheme is providing broadband services to areas in Ireland that are currently unserved. As part of the scheme, 5 per cent of remote areas will be provided with a satellite-based product.
“Through the National Broadband Scheme, our satellite broadband service will connect people in un-served areas to an efficient broadband service delivered via the latest satellite technology," said Satellite Broadband's co-founder Sean Óg Brennan.
