DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Ireland
– Mobile Infrastructure, Broadband, Operators – Statistics and Analyses”
report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
This report provides statistics and analysis on the Irish mobile market,
including the key regulatory issues, a snapshot of the consumer market,
emerging technologies, and the growth of mobile data.
Ireland’s mobile market is dominated by Vodafone Ireland and 3 Ireland
which have a similar market share. They are followed at some distance by
the incumbent telco, eir, which has about 17% of the market by
subscribers. There is room for a small number of MVNOs, the largest of
which is Tesco Mobile.
Although the number of dedicated mobile broadband subscribers has fallen
since 2016, mobile broadband use, supported by extensive LTE networks,
remains popular among consumers, particularly since the introduction of
flat-rate data plans. LTE forms an integral part of the government’s
national broadband strategy, with upgraded LTE technologies being used
to provide the required minimum of 30Mb/s in many rural areas.
The regulator has set aside spectrum in several bands for mobile data
services, including that in the 3.6GHz band which was auctioned in
mid-2017.
Key Developments:
- Vodafone launches a commercial NB-IoT service, makes its first 5G call;
- Regulator revises strategy to manage radio spectrum;
