Clínica Mulher, saúde no feminino: cliente da DataRoad

A new clinic cannot open with an unfinished network or with clinical data exposed to visitors. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting designed, installed and manages the network infrastructure of Clínica Mulher's new unit in the Twin Towers, Sete Rios: 192 network points, segmented Wi-Fi 7, firewall, server and NAS, ready for launch and managed under IT Unlimited for around 50 workstations. The unit is in Espaço 7RIOS, Lisbon, and the network core runs on Layer 3 PoE switches, with separate networks for staff and visitors.

What did the clinic gain?

192 network points: Complete infrastructure from day one.
Wi-Fi 7: High speed, with a dedicated clinical and administrative network and an isolated visitor network.
Security: Enterprise firewall and centralised NAS backups, suited to sensitive clinical data.
Availability: High performance for critical systems.
Ongoing management: IT Unlimited for around 50 workstations, server and network.

The challenge: clinical data, visitors and a fixed opening date

A clinic depends every day on fast, secure and available systems. A failure delays appointments; a poorly separated network puts the clinic's most sensitive information at risk.

The new unit needed a reliable network for around 50 workstations, latest-generation Wi-Fi, segmentation and security suited to clinical data, reliable backups and ongoing support, all ready before opening, in one of Lisbon's most modern business complexes.

The solution: a network architecture designed for healthcare

Cabling and core

192 points of structured cabling cover the whole clinic. The core runs on high-performance Layer 3 PoE switches, which power the access points and route traffic between segments.

Segmented Wi-Fi 7

Wi-Fi 7 access points with unified cloud management on an advanced controller. Clinical and administrative staff have a dedicated network; visitors and patients use an isolated, secure guest network.

Firewall, server and backups

The enterprise firewall protects the perimeter, controls traffic and provides secure internet access, with advanced threat mitigation. A server and a dedicated NAS hold the backups.

Why segmentation matters in a clinic

In a healthcare unit, the patient and visitor network must never see the network carrying clinical data. Separating by VLAN, with firewall rules between segments, limits the reach of any compromised device and protects the clinic's most sensitive information. It is the same principle we apply to all our managed networks for clinics and healthcare units.

The result: a clinic ready at launch and managed ever since

Clínica Mulher opened with the entire infrastructure ready and moved onto an IT Unlimited contract, DataRoad's managed services model: full support for around 50 workstations, server and network, with remote, on-site and telephone support and immediate response times. The team that installed it is the team that looks after it.
