We’re all in this together
For any business or project to be successful, it takes a passion and commitment that has to be authentic. At NBI, we have the genuine honour to witness first-hand how the new NBP infrastructure rollout is transforming people’s lives.
At an individual level, we see how farmers are revolutionising their practices and embracing technologies to not only yield a better financial return, but also lower their carbon footprint. We meet small business owners, who are using technology to scale their work and create new employment opportunities. We see community centres empowered to provide digital skills training for the elderly and coding lessons for juniors.
But at a macro level, four years into this remarkable project, we’re starting to witness the rural / urban digital divide truly close, which is what this project was born to solve.
As a resident of rural County Clare, I can attest to the challenges facing rural communities. But something remarkable is happening, whereby connectivity and access to technology is regenerating communities and giving people the means to choose where they live and work, with the freedom and opportunities that others take for granted.
Since NBI’s work on the National Broadband Plan started with boots on the ground in early 2020, our work quickly scaled to see our teams operating across every county in Ireland. With the country divided into 227 ‘deployment areas’, NBI is constantly branching out in the rollout, bringing connectivity to thousands of new premises each and every month.
Our North Star as a company must always be to serve the communities in which we do business in, and I’m proud to say that our board of directors, which benefits from both Irish and international expertise, has had the privilege to travel the breadth of the country with board meetings held in spectacular rural locations each year. This has seen us travel as a group to Valentia Island, Connemara, Newmarket on Fergus, Athlone, Castlemartyr, and Clare Island.
This connection to the rural communities we serve is in the DNA of National Broadband Ireland and lives strong within the proud men and women who work across our teams, making it an essential part of the blueprint we’re forging. Lest we forget, we’re all in this together.
