Imagine, Ireland’s independent broadband provider, partnered with Viatel Technology Group to modernise its network infrastructure and accelerate its transition to a fibre-first, 5G-enabled future.

With deep roots in fixed wireless technology, Imagine required a scalable and future-proof solution to evolve its network and continue delivering high-quality broadband to customers across Ireland.

The Challenge

Imagine built Ireland’s largest fixed wireless broadband network, delivering connectivity to homes nationwide. However, as fibre infrastructure rapidly expanded across the country, the limitations of legacy radio-based connectivity became increasingly apparent.

To remain competitive and meet growing demand for faster, more reliable connectivity, Imagine needed to transition its customer base to fibre while maintaining service continuity and operational efficiency. This required scalable, high-capacity infrastructure to support large scale migration, strengthen network resilience and enable long term growth.

Solutions delivered:

• Migration of core network infrastructure into Viatel’s secure Dublin data centre estate
• Access to Viatel’s high-capacity national fibre backbone
• Integration with SIRO’s wholesale fibre network for expanded customer reach
• Enhanced network resilience, performance and reliability
• Cybersecurity expertise and support for digital transformation initiatives
• Scalable, flexible infrastructure aligned to future growth

Niall Tallon, CEO of Imagine, said:

“As we continue the transformation of Imagine as a fibre-first and 5G-enabled future, the partnership with Viatel gives us the infrastructure resilience, network capability and operational flexibility we need to continue scaling our fibre business while maintaining our customer-first approach.

There is strong alignment in how we approach customers, investment and long-term growth. Viatel is an incredible Irish company that has evolved into a truly meaningful technology partner across infrastructure, network, cyber and Microsoft solutions. I am very excited about the possibilities our partnership presents.”

The Result

With Viatel’s technology and expertise, Imagine has strengthened its network and accelerated its fibre rollout, achieving:

• Greater network resilience and improved service reliability
• Faster access to fibre services for new and existing customers
• A scalable platform to support rapid business growth
• Enhanced ability to deliver fair, transparent and stable broadband
• A trusted technology partner aligned to long-term innovation and expansion

By leveraging Viatel’s infrastructure and network capabilities, Imagine is well-positioned to deliver next-generation connectivity and continue its evolution as a leading national broadband provider.
