Services
The company was set up as GTS Ireland on 15 November 1993.[ 2] Imagine briefly operated the first Irish mobile virtual network , "Cellular 3", which bought airtime from Eircell . A legal challenge ended the arrangement[ 3] and Imagine exited the mobile market. The "Cellular 3" name was derived from Imagine's de facto position as Ireland's third mobile operator at the time; Meteor Mobile Communications , the third physical operator, had yet to be licensed.
Imagine later became the first company to introduce mobile WiMAX technology to Ireland.[ 4] [ 5] As of 2010, the company provides services to 17,000 businesses.[ 6]
Imagine has affiliations with several brands, including Motorola ,[ 7] HP ,[ 8] and Intel .[ 9]
