Satellite Broadband Ireland was created by Kevin Ryan and Sean Og Brennan, in a response to the serious lack of availability for a reliable, consistent and cost effective rural broadband solution. Having studied the historical trends and statistical results for rural broadband, Satellite Broadband Ireland looked at the emerging technologies that could service these remote & rural areas with a viable broadband service and found that satellite was one of a few contenders for meeting this problem head on. After spending a considerable amount of time looking at satellite service providers and their product offering across Europe and how our fellow EU partners were dealing with similar rural broadband issues Satellite Broadband Ireland partnered with Europe’s leading satellite communications company, Eutelsat.

In April 2009 Minister for Communications Eamon Ryan TD officially launched the partnership of Satellite Broadband Ireland with Eutelsat, the number 1 provider in Europe with 29 satellites in geo-stationary orbit. Satellite Broadband Ireland is now able to deliver a 3.6MB broadband service from €29 a month via Eutelsat’s Tooway service anywhere in Ireland. Satellite Broadband Ireland have to date successfully installed the Tooway service in 24 counties across Ireland covering the most rural locations from west cork to the most northerly points of Donegal and are the leading provider of satellite broadband in Ireland. They offer affordable satellite broadband anywhere, guaranteed.
