A digitally connected Wexford

Digital connectivity is key to operating a successful business. Wexford is serviced by the
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), which provides ADSL to broadband infrastructure to
businesses, educational facilities and industry.
Wexford was one of two locations nationally in the rollout of a €20 million investment in high fibre
broadband, with speeds of up to 75MB available to 14,000 premises in urban areas delivering services for
improved connectivity, efficiency and reliability for business. Some 60,000 out of 80,000 premises will be
connected by commercial operators by mid-2018 and the remaining 20,000 premises will be connected by
the national broadband rollout.
