About Aurora Telecom

As a carrier-neutral, open access, dark fibre network, we provide secure, scalable and high-speed solutions for telecommunications carriers, corporate organisations and government services.

Set up in 2000, Aurora Telecom is Ireland's leading backhaul dark fibre service provider. We own and operate an extensive national network that extends across 15 counties, in a ring topology, linking all major cities and key urban centres along the route.

Harnessing our 1200km network

Built using the latest fibre optic technology, our network is the most modern and lowest latency in Ireland. It delivers superior performance and true resilience.

As a carrier of choice for subsea network providers, Aurora Telecom’s terrestrial network interconnects with all key submarine landing points.

By continuing to invest in our network, we’re playing our part to further enhance Ireland's connectivity and regional reach, which helps to enable economic and social progress.

Part of Gas Networks Ireland

Aurora Telecom is a division of Gas Networks Ireland, a state-owned company. Together, we manage and maintain two of Ireland's strategic national resources – telecoms and gas infrastructure.

Aurora Telecom's network is laid adjacent to the (underground) national natural gas network. We operate regular aerial and on-the-ground surveillance to ensure the highest levels of security and operational continuity.
