Stone walls and listed-building constraints — every Cashel hotel has at least one wedding function room where guests cannot get a signal
Hotel IT & Guest WiFi · Cashel
Hotel IT, guest WiFi and cybersecurity for hotels in Cashel that have outgrown a single broadband line.
Cashel's hospitality estate is unlike anywhere else in Ireland — a Norman castle on a limestone outcrop, a 13th-century cathedral, and around fifteen luxury and heritage hotels within walking distance. The IT infrastructure that runs that scene was mostly installed in waves: one network when a property opened in the early 2000s, another after a wedding-volume refurbishment in the 2010s, another after the post-pandemic re-opening. The seams between those waves are where most of the operational risk lives.

The local estate
Hospitality in Cashel, in four shapes.
Each shape has its own IT and cybersecurity profile. We've worked across all four locally.
Heritage 4-star and boutique 5-star hotels around the Rock of Cashel
Country-house properties on the surrounding R-roads
Wedding-and-events venues with stone-walled function rooms
Independent guesthouses and B&Bs running fragile PMS-on-WiFi setups
Guest WiFi · Cashel
What goes wrong with guest WiFi in Cashel.
Six failure patterns we've actually fixed across Cashel and Co. Tipperary. Each one tends to be invisible to the GM until a wedding party or a corporate guest writes the review.
WiFi dropouts during weddings — when 120 phones connect at once to a network sized for 30
Backup broadband absence — most Cashel properties run a single fibre line with no 4G/5G failover; the morning a 7am check-out happens during an outage is the morning of an angry Tripadvisor review
Captive portal that hasn't been refreshed since the property's marketing rebrand
Guest VLAN bleeding into the PMS network — same broadcast domain, same risk
Wedding photographers and DJs plugging gear directly into staff-VLAN sockets
Cashel's hospitality calendar is shaped by weddings (March–October), corporate retreats (autumn / winter midweek), and tourism peaks during the All-Ireland Fleadh and bank-holiday weekends. Networks sized for shoulder-season fall over during peak weekends.
Vendor patterns
Who already serves Cashel hotels — and where the gaps sit.
Most Cashel hotels are served by one of three regional ISPs for fibre, a freelance contractor for the in-house network, and a separate booking-engine provider — none of whom have end-to-end visibility on the public attack surface.
Grants you can use
How Co. Tipperary SMEs typically fund this.
All eligible Cashel SMEs can apply for the Enterprise Ireland Cyber Review Grant (80% funded up to €3,000) and the NCSC Cyber Improvement Grant (80% funded, €25,000–€60,000) — and we map our delivery to both schemes.
EI & NCSC grant route What we'd typically do
First-month engagement in Cashel.
A typical first month: pfSense / Ubiquiti redesign, separate guest / staff / PMS / payment VLANs, captive portal with email capture, monthly performance reporting, a free initial external cybersecurity brief covering the booking sub-domain and voucher platform.
Cashel is our home patch. Senior engineers are on-site within hours, not days — same-day for outage triage, next-day for scheduled work.
