Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Roll-out and Delivery of Broadband in Rural Areas: Discussion
Mr. Peter Hendrick:
The question was whether the same latency is delivered between the mainland and the island through fibre as through microwave transport. Both transmit a radio frequency, RF, signal. With fibre, it is a very high ultraviolet RF signal. Effectively, it is light. Both travel at the same speed but the medium is different. One is over glass and one is over air. As I have said, the actual transport from A to B is the same.
