Enet at 25: Powering Ireland’s Connectivity

Celebrating 25 years in business, Enet, headquartered in the National Technology Park in Castletroy, Limerick, is the backbone of Ireland’s connectivity.

From operating the State’s Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) in 2004 to a nationwide presence today, Enet has grown into Ireland’s largest alternative wholesale telecoms provider – facilitating the delivery of affordable, world-class broadband and wireless services to over 1.2 million homes and businesses across Ireland.

With over 10,000km of fibre, a 450-strong workforce, and a proven track record of innovation, Enet’s networks also support Ireland’s fastest-growing sectors – technology, finance, pharmaceuticals and AI – ensuring reliable, high-capacity infrastructure for communities across the country, including here in Limerick.

At the heart of Enet’s success are its people. With engineers, IT specialists, project managers and service delivery experts driving innovation, the company fosters an environment where talent thrives. Enet is proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work in 2025, recognising the trust, pride and camaraderie shared across their teams.

Employees benefit from professional development plans, in- house training, and access to the Learning Hour initiative, which provides dedicated time for continuous learning via platforms like Udemy.

The focus on people extends to inclusion and sustainability. Speed Fibre Group, Ireland’s leading telecom infrastructure provider, has earned the Investors in Diversity Silver Accreditation, achieving an 83% Inclusion Score, and in 2025 has achieved a 100/100 rating from Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB).

Part of Speed Fibre Group, Enet is now delighted to mark 25 years of connecting Ireland. And its mission remains clear; keeping communities, businesses, and industries connected – now and into the future.

From AI to Cloud, from smart cities to 5G and beyond, the next 25 years will demand more connectivity than ever and Enet is building the infrastructure to make this possible.

Connected then. Connected now. And ready for what’s next.
