Orange Ireland brings faster mobile voice and data services to the country. Orange completes its new 3G+ network in Northern Ireland, giving customers, living, working or travelling in the country access to even more reliable voice and data services. Northern Ireland and Scotland have both benefitted from the recent upgrade programme. Some 760 sites across the areas have been upgraded resulting in a 20 per cent improvement in network performance for both voice and data.

“We are delighted to announce the new network has gone live in Northern Ireland”, said Pete Marsden, vice president IT and Networks. “At Orange we are proud of our commitment to give all our customers access to robust and reliable networks. We are investing heavily in updating and improving our infrastructure to meet our goal of being the best UK network for coverage and reliability.” Orange now offers over 94 percent population 3G coverage and over 70 percent 3G+ across the UK.
