Irish Broadband is to recruit 60 new staff for its Dublin headquarters on the back of significant growth forecasts in the sector in 2005.
In a statement today, the company said staff numbers will have to be increased in 2005 "to service a rapidly expanding business and residential customer subscriber base".
The company, which currently employs 102 people, provides broadband coverage in Dublin City as well as Cork and Galway.
By the end of February, the company says its wireless broadband services will be available to homes and businesses in Limerick, Waterford, Drogheda and Dundalk also.
Irish Broadband's Managing Director Mr Paul Doody said: "2005 looks like it is going to be a hugely important year for wireless broadband technology and for Irish Broadband in particular.
He said: "So far this year we've secured €18 million in new funding and won some very important broadband delivery contracts."
"Over the next twelve months we expect to see further strong demand for our wireless broadband services and this recruitment drive will make sure we are one hundred per cent ready to meet that demand as and when it comes," he added.
