Does a full coworking space keep good speeds?
Yes, when the network is designed for high density rather than just coverage. We use several managed access points, optimised channels and per-user bandwidth limits, so speeds hold up with dozens or hundreds of people connected at once. The site survey before the works shows how many devices are needed and where they go.
How do you give visitors internet access without risk?
With a dedicated guest network, separate from the internal network and from each resident company's network. Access goes through a portal in the space's branding with usage limits, and no visitor can see the team's devices, printers or files. Members and resident companies sit on segments isolated from one another.
Will Teams and Zoom stop failing?
Yes, when the failure comes from the wireless network. We configure the network to prioritise voice and video, spread users across access points and tune channels and power levels. The result is measured after installation, room by room, at peak occupancy, and tuning continues for as long as the network is under management.
Does the network cover a space on several floors?
Yes. The coverage study shows where to place each access point to serve every floor and every area, including meeting rooms, kitchen and reception. Devices on all floors sit in the same console, with the same network for each profile, which simplifies management and any future change.
What does it cost, and what happens after installation?
The cost of the installation depends on the area to cover and the type of client, and is set after the site survey. From then on, DataRoad manages the network under an IT Unlimited contract, from €395 (Essential), €750 (Premium) or €1,200 (Premium 365) per month + VAT. The contract is annual, with automatic renewal and no lock-in.
Can you just install the Wi-Fi?
No. DataRoad does not sell stand-alone equipment or carry out one-off jobs: whoever installs the network is responsible for it, with monitoring, tuning and remote, on-site and telephone support. We work with companies and spaces with more than 10 workstations, always directly with the end client and under an IT Unlimited contract.
