It was announced this week that Irish rural telecoms company, Ripplecom, has won a major new contract to supply broadband to Glanbia Agribusiness. 
 
This win follows a €1.2m investment by Ripplecom that enables it to provide a broader range of telecoms solutions to Irish businesses. These solutions include broadband, voice, cyber security and customer-specific IT services. Ripplecom provides these services across a multitude of access technologies including fibre, wireless and copper-based infrastructure. 
 
The contract will see Ripplecom provide high quality data broadband connectivity to 55 Glanbia Agribusiness sites around Ireland. The sites are located in the east, south east, north east, midlands and north Cork.
