Our conservative market estimates project that spending by telecommunication operators on leasing of private property worldwide tops US$3 billion per annum.

In 2004 ISM diversified its company strategy to include the management of fibre optic networks and the provision and brokering of high speed, voice, and IP television services for our expanding client list. We called the vehicle to roll out this service OpenOptics.

Since OpenOptics' inception, we can now proudly add two of Ireland’s largest and most prominent developments to our client list including Ireland’s Dockland regeneration development, Spencer Dock, and Ireland's National Conference Centre, the state’s most ambitious and exciting development to date. The expansion into the managed fibre network market has been extremely effective - interfacing the developer’s requirements which are meeting and exceeding the expectations and needs of their occupants and tenants with the often onerous requirements of wireless and fixed telecommunication companies.

With the integration of a single platform (OpenOptics) to design, implement and manage telecommunication services within a development, the developer stands to reduces their capital expenditure, reduce the associated costs in managing this infrastructure, and generating significant revenue previously untapped areas.

ISM has developed a client base of over 100 private and corporate entities, including 5 multinationals, has operations in 3 countries - Ireland, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and manages a property portfolio of over 400 developments.

ISM has demonstrated that significant revenue streams are available to developer clients as well as reduced capital infrastructure costs.

Two of Ireland’s leading telecommunication infrastructure companies, Independent Site Management and Next Generation Networks (NGN), have partnered to form OpenOptics. This joint venture was created to provide our projects with a proven fibre management body with substantial technical and human resources.

Next Generation Networks is a privately held company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. NGN specialises in high-end services and customised systems design for the carrier, cellular and ISP marketplace. NGN utilises years of industry and engineering experience, network design expertise, network test and measurement expertise and long-standing partnership relations with leading suppliers allowing to develop best-in-class solutions.
