According to an article in today's Irish Examiner a Cork based company, Cubic Telecom, is supplying the US military with what it describes as "innotive mobile phone SIM cards" which the US forces in Afghanistan and Iraq are currently testing. In yet another example of Irish involvement in work with military applications the product, called the Max-Roam SIM card, "piggybacks the mobile phone service of the country the user is located in but transfers the mobile number to a landline, thus reducing costs significantly". |

Jump To Comment: 1Its good to see another Irish entrepreneur getting a piece of the U.S. military expenditure action. It augurs well for continued Irish economic development. And its not all based in Galway either, so fair play to Cork.
With astute businessmen like CTL's Conchur O Bradaigh, Rivada Network's Declan Ganley, (both part of Galway's emerging military-industrial complex), and now with Cork-based Pat Phelan's Cubic Telecom, the Irish economy is strategically well placed to take full advantage of the commercial opportunities afforded by U.S. military projects to promote democracy around the world.
Congratulations to all.
