A MERGER between two wireless internet service providers, Amocom and Callidus/Omnitel, is expected to create 36 new jobs in Cork and Limerick.

The combined firm known as Ripple Communications Limited – Ripplecom – will increase its workforce from 14 to 50 employees over the next three years by growing its customer base to 30,000, expanding services to all 26 counties.

Ripplecom began trading this month from its headquarters in Blackpool, Co Cork, and regional office in Limerick.
