Huawei has announced plans to create a further 110 new jobs across Ireland by the end of 2022.
The the newly created roles in sales, R&D and IT development will be based at the global ICT infrastructure firm's Dublin headquarters and across operations in Cork and Athlone.
Huawei has a broad range of activities in Ireland, where it serves all of the major telecommunications providers with products and business solutions.
When receruitment is completed by 2022 it will mean Huawei has created at least 310 new jobs in Ireland since 2019.
"We are delighted to see such growth in our workforce and business," said Huawei Ireland Chief Executive Tony Yangxu.
"Huawei has a long-term commitment to Ireland, where since 2004 we have built a world-class team servicing our ever-growing consumer and enterprise customer bases."

The company has also announced plans to invest €80 million in Irish research and development (R&D) over the next two years to support its business in Ireland.
The investment is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland and Irish Tánaiste & Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar commented: "The news that Huawei will create 110 new jobs is most welcome. The company is creating new jobs at a time when we really need them with so many people out of work.
"Despite all the current uncertainty and challenges, Ireland continues to attract top class investment from global technology companies. These 110 jobs, which come in addition to the 200 created over the past 15 months, will be accompanied by an €80m investment in Irish research and development. I wish the company the best of luck with this expansion."
