Dublin to get 60 jobs by Irish startup after tie up with Audi

DUBLIN, Ireland - Irish telecom startup, Cubic Telecom is set to increase its workforce from 80 to 140 as it launches a recruitment drive.

Cubic Telecom has claimed that it will be hiring 60 new employees for the Dublin office.

The move comes shortly after the telecom company partnered with Audi in June to provide the cars with virtual sim technology which will allow a broadband speed of 100Mbps.

The project has received a funding of 18 million euros provided by Audi Electronics Venture GmbH and Qualcomm and will include the connectivity player called M2M.

Managing Director of Audi Ireland, Henning Dohrn stated, “Tech is powering the next revolution in motoring and our partnership with Cubic Telecom is one of its key instigators. Cubic Telecom distils Audi’s connectivity down to a single SIM card, providing Audi drivers hassle-free access to useful online services, making their drives more convenient and efficient.”

Speaking at the event, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said, “Cubic Telecom is a brilliant example of an Irish company excelling on the world stage, and its partnership with a global brand like Audi is further testament to this. This announcement is yet more evidence that the Irish economy remains productive and innovative and our indigenous tech sector is growing from strength to strength.”

Meanwhile, CEO of Cubic Telecom, Barry Napier said, “Cubic is enabling in-car connectivity on an international scale through partnerships with tier one mobile operators. Our expanding company will help us innovate further in the Internet of Things space, and create industry-leading products and services. The future is ripe with potential and we look forward to taking Cubic technology global.”
