At a public health school, a poorly organised physical network holds back teaching, research and digital services, and every fault takes hours to locate. In 2021, the National School of Public Health (ENSP) of NOVA University called DataRoad again to eliminate that risk in its Lisbon building: certified structured cabling, connected and labelled points, and an infrastructure with headroom for more bandwidth.

Why does everything start with the cable?

Because no equipment can make up for a weak physical layer. Uncertified cables limit throughput, make faults intermittent and drive up the cost of every intervention. For ENSP, redoing this layer was the condition for reliable internal communications, efficient operations and a network that meets academic demands.

What did DataRoad install?

  • Point-by-point certification All structured cabling tested and certified.
  • Order and labelling Every outlet connected, organised and clearly identified at the rack.
  • Headroom for the future Infrastructure sized for more bandwidth.
  • Standards Delivered according to international networking best practice.

What now runs on this foundation?

Everything a modern academic institution uses every day.

  • Teaching and scientific research platforms.
  • Internal and external communication channels.
  • Bandwidth-hungry digital services.
  • Teamwork across departments.
  • A protected, efficient data network.

Why did ENSP choose DataRoad again?

Because of the trust already built on previous network projects. The renewed partnership points to a shared goal: technical quality and the institution's digital readiness. DataRoad thanks ENSP for that trust.
