'Irish wireless ISPs merge

Nov 17, 2009 (DMEUROPE via COMTEX) -- Irish wireless ISP Ripplecom Communications, created by the merger of Amocom and Callidus/Omnitel, has announced plans to create over 35 new jobs. It hopes to expand its workforce from 14 to 50 full-time employees over the next three years by growing its customer base to 30,000, expanding services to all 26 Irish counties and teaming with industry leaders to provide best-of-breed services. Ripplecom began trading earlier in November and currently has 3,100 customers in 12 counties. It operates from 235 wireless access points. Its expansion plans are supported by IFA Telecom, with funding secured from Farmer Business Developments (FBD) to drive customer numbers. Managing Director John McDonnell said Ripplecom's core focus was to provide broadband connectivity to the residential, SoHo, SME and corporate markets. Prior to the merger, Callidus traded as Omnitel with IFA as one of its shareholders. The South County Dublin based company provided broadband services to counties Kilkenny, Carlow, Wicklow, Wexford, Dublin, Laois, Kildare, Meath and Offaly. Cork-based Amocom, meanwhile, serviced counties Cork, Waterford and Clare.
