Eir Evo, a telecommunications and ICT solutions provider that is part of the Eir Group, has been awarded a seven-year contract by the Irish Government, to deliver critical satellite connectivity to some of the country’s most isolated regions. As part of the agreement, Eir Evo has partnered with Eutelsat to deliver the satellite services. Overseen by the office of the Government chief information officer (OGCIO), the project will initially deliver satellite connectivity at 21 sites, with the potential to scale to 300 locations. Eir Evo’s satellite system operates independently of terrestrial infrastructure meaning emergency services and healthcare teams can stay in touch with communities via satellite connectivity. At Eir Evo, we believe connectivity is not just about access, it’s about resilience, continuity and safety.
