When SiliconRepublic.com recently visited Aurora Telecom, general manager Sean O’Donnell filled us in on how the telecoms company has been doing over the past year. Aurora Telecom, a division of Gas Networks Ireland, is an Irish backhaul dark fibre service provider. Dark fibre, also known as unlit fibre, refers to unused optical fibre cables available for use in fibre-optic communication. O’Donnell says that the demand for dark fibre services in Ireland has particularly increased due to “hyperscale activity, cloud computing and advancement in technology such as 5G”. “Aurora Telecom is involved in another project [and] later on in the year we’ll be announcing the results of that.”Don’t miss out on the knowledge you need to succeed.
