1,000 SIRO Connections, Powering INTERSPORT Elverys

About Intersport Elverys
INTERSPORT Elverys is a leading Irish sports retailer with 44 stores across the country and a thriving online platform at elverys.ie. The company continues to invest in its digital presence, physical store network, and warehouse automation to deliver a seamless experience for customers both in-store and online.

The Requirement
To support its ongoing growth and digital transformation, INTERSPORT Elverys needed to upgrade its connectivity infrastructure. The goal was to implement a robust, high-speed, and future-proof network to power its head office, distribution centre, and retail operations. This would also underpin its online sales, in-store customer experience, and logistics systems.

The Solution

INTERSPORT Elverys partnered with Viatel Technology Group to deploy enterprise-grade fibre connectivity using SIRO’s 100% fibre-first wholesale network. The rollout began with the upgrade of connectivity at the company’s headquarters and distribution centre in Castlebar, Co. Mayo.

Viatel delivered:

  • Dedicated internet connectivity via SIRO’s fibre network.
  • Speeds of up to 10 Gbps for enterprise operations.
  • 24/7/365 support through Viatel’s Network Operations Centre.
  • Weekly project calls and a dedicated account manager.
  • Transparent service delivery and enterprise-grade SLAs.

Gareth Browne, IT Support Engineer at INTERSPORT Elverys, said:

The personalised service and responsiveness we’ve received from Viatel have been outstanding. Our dedicated Account Manager, Damien Peelo, has been instrumental in ensuring our needs are met. We’ve had the opportunity to visit Viatel’s Blanchardstown HQ, meeting the entire project team, and we benefit from weekly touchpoint calls with our Project Manager in the Service Delivery Team. This level of visibility and transparency has been transformative. With access to Viatel’s 24/7/365 Network Operations Centre and enterprise-grade SLAs, we feel consistently supported and valued at every stage of the partnership.

The Result


The collaboration has significantly strengthened INTERSPORT Elverys’ digital infrastructure. The company now benefits from:

  • Reliable, high-speed connectivity across its operations.
  • Enhanced efficiency in logistics and warehouse automation.
  • Seamless support for both in-store and online customer experiences.
  • A trusted technology partner with proactive service and support.

This project also marked Viatel’s 1,000th enterprise connection with SIRO, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of enterprise connectivity in Ireland.
