In 2019, Serviced Apartments Boavista Palace in Porto solved this at the root: DataRoad designed and installed **business Wi-Fi with a private network for each of the 72 apartments**, spread across 8 floors, and has managed it under contract ever since. | Detail | Value | | --- | --- | | Client | Serviced Apartments Boavista Palace, Avenida da Boavista, Porto | | Year | 2019 | | Scale | 72 one-bedroom and one-bedroom-plus apartments across 8 floors | | Scope | Structured cabling, business wireless network, firewall, servers and infrastructure, IT Unlimited | ## Why does an aparthotel need one network per apartment? Because long-stay guests use the apartment as both home and office. They want speed, they want privacy and they will not accept seeing the neighbour's devices. Boavista Palace sits in one of Porto's most prestigious business districts, a few steps from Carolina Michaëlis metro station. It offers a gym, a terrace, soundproofed interiors with premium finishes and welcome amenities. With demand for premium accommodation and extended stays growing, the internet connection has become part of the product. ## How was Wi-Fi isolated for 72 units in the same building? With VLAN segmentation, from the access point to the switch. Each apartment has its own wireless network, protected and invisible to the others. - **Coverage planning**: before installing any equipment, DataRoad set the position of each access point to cover all 8 floors with no dead zones. - **Enterprise-grade access points**: multiple units tuned for range and throughput with many devices connected at once. - **Managed switching**: business switches with VLANs that separate traffic and give the network control and stability. - **Security gateway**: controls the internet uplink and has redundancy, so the failure of one link does not leave the building without service. - **Final tuning**: adjustments after installation, with the building already in use. ## Who watches the network after the works? DataRoad, under a maintenance contract. The infrastructure is monitored with alerting and the client receives continuous reporting on availability and performance. - **Automatic alerts** The technical team knows about a fault as it happens. - **Remote and on-site support** Within IT Unlimited. - **Full systems management** Network, security and equipment with a single accountable party. - **24/7** Continuous monitoring available on the Premium 365 plan. ## What was the business result? - **Guaranteed privacy** One apartment's traffic never crosses another's. - **Balanced throughput** Bandwidth managed for everyone, even at full occupancy. - **Continuous service** A redundant link and monitored infrastructure. - **A single partner** Installation, maintenance, monitoring and consultancy under one contract.

Yes. With VLANs, each unit has its own isolated wireless network, with no visibility of the others. ### What if the building's internet fails? The security gateway has redundancy configured and keeps the service running when a link goes down. ### How is signal guaranteed on every floor? Through a prior survey of each access point's position, floor-by-floor planning and tuning after installation. ## More wireless and hospitality projects - [Six Baixa hotels with managed network, CCTV and PMS](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/six-hotels-rossio-restauradores-managed-network/) - [Ouro Rossio: 30 Wi-Fi points, 55 cameras and a firewall](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/ouro-rossio-hotel-managed-network-wifi-cctv/) - [SSAP: 14 access points in a Lisbon building](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/ssap-managed-wireless-network-14-access-points/) - [SSAP: 56 Wi-Fi 7 points across three cities](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/wifi-7-public-sector-ssap-access-points/) Full archive in [client projects](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/case-studies/) and [DataRoad news](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/news/). ## Want the same standard for your property?
