DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting removed all the old cabling, trunking and outlets, installed CAT6 cabling in every room, fitted a new rack and certified every network point. If you are looking for the service rather than this case, see [managed IT and networks for embassies and international organisations](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/it-services-for-embassies/). ## Project details | Item | Information | | --- | --- | | Client | Embassy of Cyprus in Portugal | | Year | 2018 | | Client type | Diplomatic mission | | Work | Structured cabling · servers and infrastructure · firewall and security | ## Patch up or replace the network infrastructure? Replace, when the foundation is worn out. Old cable, often below CAT6, limits speed, fails more often and degrades over the years. Fixing it outlet by outlet keeps the inherited weaknesses. A complete renewal solves the problem at the root and leaves the embassy with a documented network: a labelled rack, certified cable, nothing left to guess at the next intervention. ## How did the work proceed? - **Removal**: old cable, trunking and network and power outlets taken out. - **CAT6 cabling**: installed in every room. - **Trunking and outlets**: new, for network and power. - **Rack**: assembled with data and power strips and connectors. - **Labelling**: every point identified in the room and at the rack. - **Active equipment**: switches, routers and other equipment connected. - **Certification**: network tested and documented. ## What result did the embassy get? - **A fast, reliable network** Ready for the years ahead. - **A tidy rack** Every point identified. - **An end to cable faults** The risk of degraded cabling has gone. - **Written proof** Certification with measured performance. ## For which other clients do we carry out this work? For diplomatic missions and companies with high requirements.
