Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment
National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Marcus Matthews:
Yes, provided the distance limitation that we specified is adhered to. That is why that mast infrastructure does not have to be used. It is used to cover huge distances and get a load of properties in the coverage arc, from the unit. If the distance is reduced, however, they can be located in a more targeted way. They cover fewer premises but the quality of service is much higher and more flexible and we avoid dealing with masts.
