DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting installs and manages business Wi-Fi in Lisbon for offices, hotels and clinics: it measures the space on site, installs Ubiquiti UniFi access points up to Wi-Fi 7 and hands over a network ready for operation, which it keeps managing afterwards. Headquartered in Alfragide with support across the whole country, it is one of Portugal's reference names in business wireless networks.

What should you expect from your company's Wi-Fi?
Video calls that never drop, guests and patients online without asking reception for help, teams able to work in any room. That is what we measure when every job is signed off.
In Lisbon the obstacle is rarely the hardware. It is thick walls in the old buildings of the Baixa, hotels spread over many floors and office towers with dozens of neighbouring networks on the same channels. An ISP router was not built for this.
Why do we always start with a site visit?
Because coverage has to come from a design, not from trial and error. We measure signal and interference, estimate users per zone and draw up the plan: how many access points, where, and on which channels and power levels. See how our Wi-Fi site survey with heat map works.
Proximity speeds everything up. The team leaves Alfragide and reaches Lisbon, Oeiras or Cascais without relying on engineers from another city.
How long does it take and how does installation run?
The timeline is written into the proposal, because it depends on the floor area and the existing cabling. The process never changes:
- Visit and measurement: an on-site survey and an analysis of what the operation needs.
- Design and quote: solution, materials and price set out clearly.
- Installation: clean work, planned so that staff, guests and patients are not interrupted.
- Validation: certification, diagrams, labelling and reports handed over at completion.
The same team handles the project and the maintenance, with deadlines met and standards respected. The LX Arch Hotel on Rua Augusta and Clínica Mulher in the Twin Towers both opened with the network ready.
What is installed and handed over?
- UniFi Wi-Fi 6, 6E or 7 access points: 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands, with automatic channel and power tuning.
- Seamless roaming: Laptops and phones move between access points without dropping the call.
- Separate networks: SSIDs and VLANs for staff, guests and devices, with strong authentication.
- Guest Wi-Fi in your brand: A portal with your logo, colours, terms of use and limits, isolated from the internal network.
- UniFi gateways and PoE switches: Threat detection and access control on the same platform.
- Redundancy: Automatic failover between internet connections and protection at critical points.
- One console for every site: With local control, the network keeps working even if the internet goes down.
For new outlets, we install certified CAT6A and fibre optic cabling. Moving premises? See our networks for new offices.
Why Ubiquiti UniFi, and what does upkeep cost?
Because we know it at scale: DataRoad is a certified Ubiquiti partner and manages more than 138 Ubiquiti sites. UniFi does not require recurring licences: you pay for the equipment and the management, which is included in IT Unlimited. For larger projects we also deploy Cisco Meraki.
Hotel, clinic or office: what changes?
- Hotels: High density in rooms and common areas and an isolated guest network. The Ouro Rossio Hotel has 30 access points across 6 floors in Restauradores; easyHotel Lisboa has 38 across 7 floors. More on managed IT for hotels.
- Clinics: Segmented Wi-Fi, with the clinical network kept apart from the visitor network. Clínica Mulher opened with Wi-Fi 7 and 192 network points.
- Offices, shops and warehouses: Stable video calls in open-plan spaces and several locations under the same rules.
