AirSpeed Telecom sign €90k contract with Eurolink

Eurolink M3 and M4 are a Public Private Partnership Company responsible for the build and operation of two motorways within Ireland. The M3 and M4 motorways demonstrate a good example of the public and private sectors working together to deliver quality infrastructure critical to the development of the economy as well as improving road safety.

AirSpeed Telecom are providing a 100MB link between the two toll locations on the M3 and M4 to ensure the reliable and fast transfer of mission critical and bandwidth intensive applications.

The speed and reliability of the links from AirSpeed Telecom will enable staff to work remotely between the sites as well as manage information relevant to their subscriber database. The links will also allow the effective management of Eurolink’s Monitoring Coordinating System (MCS), a complex tolling system, as well as the efficient transfer of data relevant to the upkeep of the motorway.

In addition, Eurolink will use the additional bandwidth to view photographs and video footage from their 40 CCTV cameras in a more time efficient manner. These cameras are deployed by Eurolink for security purposes and also to provide overviews of the lanes at the toll.

Liam O'Kelly, Managing Director, AirSpeed Telecom, comments:

“AirSpeed Telecom is delighted to work with Eurolink on this project. Our 100MB licensed wireless link will add considerably to the efficiency and cost effectiveness of Eurolink’s entire operation, allowing Eurolink to develop additional services and efficiencies in the future. ”

“This type of data connection is essential for our business. It is imperative that we have a reliable and efficient communication link in order for us to operate between two projects covering three locations. We chose AirSpeed Telecom’s wireless technology because it was a cost effective alternative to a cable solution.”
