It was announced today that Global technology company, iDirect, will establish an Engineering and Innovation Centre in Killarney, Ireland.
The move will create more than 30 specialized engineering jobs over the course of five years.
The new engineering roles that will be created at the facility will focus on software, firmware, hardware, radio frequency and systems engineering technologies.
iDirect is a world leader in satellite-based IP communications technology and a company of Vision Technologies Systems.
The company established their presence in Ireland following their 2014 acquisition of intellectual property (IP) from locally based Altobridge. The IP acquired from the small-cell company focused on 2G and 3G solutions for cellular backhaul, is today integrated into existing iDirect solutions that enable the cellular backhaul market—a fast-growing market for VSAT service providers, driven by the need for mobile operators to extend their service offering into new geographical areas to capture greater revenue.
CEO of iDirect, Mary Cotton commented, "As the demand for satellite continues to accelerate around the globe, the continued expansion of engineering resources will be required in order to further its development."
She added, "At iDirect, we are always looking for exceptional engineering talent, and we are thrilled to be opening a new Engineering and Innovation Centre right in the heart of Ireland, a country that is rich in talented, highly skilled technical engineers."
