What LifeStyle Technologies does

LifeStyle Technologies is a CEDIA-certified AV/IT integration firm headquartered in Ireland, founded in 2008 by Ivor Sweeney, specialising in audio-visual, networking, cybersecurity, satellite communications, and smart-automation solutions for superyachts (50m+) and luxury residences. The company delivers bespoke, quote-based integration projects worldwide — design, installation, commissioning, and ongoing 24/7 remote monitoring with rapid deployment of service engineers — to ultra-high-net-worth clients, yacht builders and management companies, and select luxury hospitality operators. Projects span new builds and refits, with documented work for Feadship, Damen Yachting, Lürssen, Oceanco, Four Seasons Seychelles, and luxury residences from California to the UAE.

The core technology stack combines enterprise-grade IT infrastructure (network design, private cloud, cyber-secure data storage), satcomms (Starlink, VSAT, TVRO, UHF), Crestron and Lutron-based control with bespoke UX, Dolby/THX/DCI certified home cinema design, AI-powered CCTV, circadian rhythm-aligned RGBW+ tunable lighting, and motorised blinds. The proprietary differentiator is the September 2025-launched Yacht Optimisation live digital twin, built on Splunk Edge Hub, which pulls telemetry from every onboard subsystem, runs edge analytics for predictive maintenance anomaly detection, and syncs insights to Splunk Cloud for a 24/7 Security Operations Centre supporting IMO MSC.428(98) and other maritime cyber rules. Add-on layers include SmartTech24/7 VisionX MDR, a curated content concierge service staffed by filmmakers and writers, and PLH Italia luxury control-plate distribution in Ireland.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services (AV/IT design and integration), recurring managed services (24/7 SOC MDR), hardware sales (satcomms and lighting equipment), and bespoke content creation, priced via custom multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting owners and builders, augmented by architect and interior-designer partnerships with CEDIA-accredited CPD courses, plus industry-event presence at the Monaco Yacht Show. The company is privately held by its founder with no disclosed external institutional capital, registered as Lifestyle Technologies Ltd in Ireland (CRO350621) with a Netherlands branch (KVK86198327), and operates with 1–10 employees.
