Shore View Hotel

Project Overview

Shore View Hotel is a well-established seafront hotel in Eastbourne offering 90 guest rooms and welcoming thousands of leisure and business guests each year.

As guest expectations for fast, reliable internet access continue to grow, the hotel recognised the need to modernise both its broadband connectivity and wireless infrastructure to provide a first-class digital experience throughout the property.

Working in partnership with Lightning Fibre, DEL IT delivered a complete connectivity upgrade, combining a 1Gbps full-fibre internet service with next-generation WiFi 7 technology across all four floors of the hotel.

The Challenge

The hotel’s existing network infrastructure was no longer able to meet the demands of modern hospitality.

Guests increasingly expect seamless connectivity for streaming services, video calls, social media and multiple connected devices, while hotel staff rely on dependable internet access for business-critical operations.

The hotel required a solution that could:

·       Deliver significantly faster internet speeds

·       Provide reliable wireless coverage throughout the property

·       Support a high density of connected devices

·       Improve security and network resilience

·       Separate guest and business traffic

·       Create a scalable platform capable of supporting future growth

The Solution

DEL IT designed and implemented a complete managed network solution built around Lightning Fibre’s 1Gbps full-fibre service.

Connectivity

·       1Gbps Lightning Fibre Full Fibre Internet Connection

·       High-performance connectivity designed for modern hospitality environments

Wireless Infrastructure

·       Hotel-wide WiFi 7 coverage across all four floors

Network Platform

·       Enterprise-grade networking infrastructure

·       Enhanced security and resilience

·       Scalable platform designed for future growth

The new infrastructure provides guests with fast and reliable connectivity throughout the hotel while ensuring business systems remain secure, stable and future-ready.
