As we rolled out our network, we faced the challenge of building fibre to the home (FTTH) on top of a live electrical distribution system. SIRO teamed with CommScope, to provide industry expertise and hardened connectivity products, which reduced costs and protected against the elements.

When speaking to network operators, they know the demand for performance will continue, from bandwidth to batteries, across every technological dimension. A brighter future is built on smarter networks – that’s why we’re using light powered gigabit broadband for homes and businesses across 50 towns all over Ireland.
