Telecoms firm Imagine is investing €100m in upgrading its technology infrastructure to support high speed broadband. The company says that as the new technology rolls out up to 200 jobs could be created.

The technology, WiMAX, enables faster, or next generation wireless internet access. Imagine's WiMAX will bypass Eircom's infrastructure.

The service is already in operation, and the company says that the first phase of the roll-out - covering 250,000 homes in Dublin, Wexford, Sligo, Tralee and Athlone - will be completed by mid-November 2009.

Its not fixed wimax but mobile mimax, which has yet to be proven as anything better than midband and is a replacement for their ripwave product. Fixed wimax on the other hand can be better than dsl
