About Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope, presented by Glenveagh, is Ireland’s largest family festival—a vibrant, multi-day celebration of music, creativity, and community spirit. Set against the stunning backdrop of Russborough House in Co. Wicklow, the festival welcomes thousands of families each year for a weekend of fun, discovery, and unforgettable memories.

The Requirement

With a packed schedule of performances, workshops, food vendors, and interactive zones, Kaleidoscope depends on flawless digital infrastructure to keep everything running smoothly. From ticket scanning and vendor payments to media coverage, security systems, and real-time communications, the festival’s operations rely on fast, stable, and secure connectivity.

The Kaleidoscope team needed a partner who could not only deliver high-capacity internet access but also provide on-the-ground technical support throughout the event. The solution had to be agile, resilient, and capable of handling thousands of simultaneous connections across a sprawling outdoor site.

The Solution

Viatel Technology Group brought its extensive experience in live event connectivity to the table, designing and deploying a bespoke solution tailored to Kaleidoscope’s unique needs. Our dedicated events and field teams were on-site from setup to takedown, ensuring every element of the network performed flawlessly.

Viatel provided a robust, high-speed connection across the entire festival grounds, with intelligent bandwidth management to prioritise critical services. Our engineers worked closely with the organisers to map out coverage zones, install temporary infrastructure, and monitor performance in real time—ready to respond instantly to any issues.

The Result

The result was a seamless digital experience that empowered every stakeholder—from organisers and vendors to performers and attendees. Payments processed without delay, media teams streamed content effortlessly, and staff stayed connected across the site.

“Working with Viatel Technology Group has been a game-changer for Kaleidoscope presented by Glenveagh. Viatel’s dedicated events team deliver a robust, tailor-made solution that keeps thousands of devices connected across the weekend. Their onsite support is second to none.”
