For an app-driven platform, a slow network means lost development time. FREE NOW gained certified CAT6 cabling and high-density Wi-Fi in Lisbon.

For decision-makers short on time.
For a mobility platform that lives on apps, a slow office network means lost development time and customers kept waiting. In 2020, FREE NOW (previously known in Portugal as Kapten) entrusted DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting with the network infrastructure of its Lisbon office. We delivered CAT6 cabling with termination and certification, the outlets for every workstation, full labelling at the rack, the access points and the configuration of the entire solution. The goal was unambiguous: a fast, protected and always-available network.

Because it is one of Europe's largest urban mobility networks, with 700 people across 26 offices. Its recent evolution shows the technological intensity of the operation:
The team terminated, tested and certified every CAT6 cable. Certifying is not confirming there is a signal: it is proving that each point meets the performance of its category.
Every workstation received its outlets, in an infrastructure designed for high speed, minimal latency and stable behaviour: what a team working almost entirely on digital applications needs.
Every point was identified and documented at the rack. This speeds up diagnostics, simplifies maintenance and allows growth without chaos.
The installation was tuned end to end: optimised performance, reinforced security and careful integration between the wired and wireless layers.
An office with a stable network, ready to grow and to meet the demands of a technology operation. We thank FREE NOW for trusting DataRoad with network installation, consultancy, technical support and the management and maintenance of its infrastructure.
With ongoing management. A well-installed network degrades if nobody looks after it. Under IT Unlimited, follow-up includes:
