Shore View Hotel
Modernising Connectivity with Lightning Fibre & DEL IT
Delivering Next‑Generation WiFi & Full‑Fibre Performance
Industry: Hospitality
Location: Eastbourne, East Sussex
Installation Date: 2026
Managed IT Partner: DEL IT Ltd
Project Overview
Shore View Hotel is a popular seafront destination in Eastbourne, offering 90 guest rooms and welcoming thousands of visitors every year. With guest expectations for fast, seamless internet access continuing to rise, the hotel identified the need to upgrade both its broadband service and wireless network to deliver a modern, high‑quality digital experience.
Partnering with Lightning Fibre, DEL IT implemented a full connectivity transformation, combining a 1Gbps full‑fibre service with a hotel‑wide WiFi 7 deployment across all four floors.
The Challenge
The hotel’s previous network setup was no longer capable of supporting the demands of today’s hospitality environment.
Guests rely on strong, uninterrupted WiFi for streaming, video calls, social media and multiple personal devices, while hotel staff depend on stable connectivity for essential daily operations.
Shore View Hotel required a solution that could:
-
Increase internet speeds dramatically
-
Deliver reliable wireless coverage throughout the building
-
Support high device density
-
Enhance network security
-
Separate guest and business traffic
-
Provide a scalable, future‑ready platform
The Solution
DEL IT designed a fully managed network solution built around Lightning Fibre’s 1Gbps full‑fibre connection.
