Ms Niamh Cullen O'Reilly:

The phone masts are already in place. We already have 3G, 4G and now 5G frequencies operating in the market. We have Three, Eir and Vodafone. The infrastructure is already in place. Many Irish people have modems in their homes and businesses. When we add an external attennae on to that device it will be a game changer. It will increase speeds, reduce latency and the customer will still have an affordable product that works for them in real time. We deal with people in Clonbur in Galway, in Mayo, Donegal and west Cork. These are real people with real challenges not two years down the line but today. Right now they have the use of SIM card technology in their homes. Novatel is a Cork-based company that has been in operation since 2007. We have been dealing with Poynting for many years. We are a global leader in the manufacture of attennae. We have the solution already. Is it the solution that will solve the needs of every customer? No. There is a marketplace in Ireland in both urban and rural areas. Some of the urban markets are very well taken care of. They have their fibre connections, satellite connections and landlines but there is a population who have been ignored and left out in the cold and we can solve that problem today.
