Guests forgive a slow lift, not a dropped video call. Hotel Wi-Fi needs four isolated networks, a room-by-room coverage survey and ongoing management.

For decision-makers short on time.
A 6 on Booking because of the Wi-Fi costs bookings for months. Guests will accept a harder pillow or a slow lift. They will not accept a work video call that drops in the room, or a series full of buffering at night. And they write about it on Booking, Google or TripAdvisor. Hotel Wi-Fi has become as strong a selection criterion as location. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting designs it so that the Wi-Fi stops being a complaint and becomes a compliment.
At least four, isolated from one another:
This was the architecture applied at LX Arch Hotel (Rua Augusta), with Wi-Fi 7, CCTV and all IT under management.
Rarely because of the operator. The usual causes are thick walls in old buildings, consumer equipment doing professional work and networks that grew piecemeal, with routers and repeaters added at random.
The consequences are well known: rooms at the end of the corridor with no signal, a connection that drops between the lobby and the bar, and receptionists acting as a helpdesk.
The fix always starts with measuring on site, in every room, how far the signal reaches and where it is lost. The network is designed from the real building.
More routers do not solve it. What solves it is a network designed by people who know hospitality.
DataRoad is today one of the best companies in Portugal for business IT support and for structured cabling and wireless network installation.
For management, the consequence is simple: nobody talks about the Wi-Fi any more. Discover our work in managed IT for hospitality.
We carry out the coverage study and present a no-commitment proposal.
