eir has said its 5G mobile network now reaches 99% of the population.
The telecommunications company has seen a 60% year-on-year surge in 5G traffic, and a 20% rise in overall data usage.
On Monday 30 June, Lana Del Rey fans broke the record for the most eir mobile data used at an event in the Aviva stadium, with 55% more data used than the previous record-breaking American College Football game in August of 2024.
“5G is enabling more than just faster smartphones,” said Fergal McCann, Chief Technology Officer at eir.
“It’s powering remote healthcare, connected homes, live-streamed learning, real-time logistics, and the digital services that make modern life work.
“Our job is to make sure the network always stays one step ahead – and that every customer, no matter where they live, gets the experience they deserve,” he added.
