No obligation. # Magnelusa: new network with Wi-Fi 6, Layer 3 switching, firewall At a glance For decision-makers short on time. - 01 In 2024, Magnelusa (JBL in Portugal) replaced its entire network with DataRoad. - 02 Managed Wi-Fi 6, Layer 3 PoE switches and a firewall, with every point certified. - 03 Monitoring with alerts: the network warns before the user notices. - 04 Network looked after under IT Unlimited; 24/7 support only on Premium 365. ### In this article **An old network takes its toll every day: Wi-Fi drop-outs, demos that freeze and faults nobody spots until someone complains.** In 2024, **Magnelusa**, exclusive representative and distributor of JBL in Portugal, decided to put an end to it and entrusted DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting with networking consultancy and the complete replacement of its business network. We carried out the assessment, the design and the installation: managed Wi-Fi 6, Layer 3 PoE switches, a firewall and monitoring with alerts, with every network point certified. ## Who is Magnelusa? Founded in February 2005, Magnelusa represents and distributes leading audio, video, multimedia and accessories brands in Portugal, Sennheiser, JBL and Harman Kardon, among others. It built its reputation by meeting each client's specific requirements with top-tier products. [Discover Magnelusa](https://www.magnelusa.pt/). ## How did the networking project begin? With an assessment of the existing network. Based on it, DataRoad's networking team designed a new infrastructure (stable, protected and with room to grow) and removed the old one entirely. ## What was installed? - **Wi-Fi 6 with central management** Several access points across the office, controlled and monitored from a single console. - **Layer 3 PoE switches** Powering and interconnecting the active equipment. - **Firewall** Installed and configured to protect the perimeter. - **Certified network** Every point tested and documented. - **Alerts** Network monitoring with automatic notifications. ## Why combine Wi-Fi 6, Layer 3 switching and a firewall? Because each component removes a different problem. Wi-Fi 6 holds performance with many devices connected at once, essential in a space where laptops, phones and demo equipment compete for the same network. PoE delivers power to the access points over the data cable, removing the need for extra sockets; Layer 3 routes and separates traffic between VLANs without leaving the local network. The firewall guards the boundary and decides what comes in and what goes out. With monitoring and alerts on top, the network warns DataRoad when something drifts, before any user notices the problem. This combination is what turns an installation into a stable asset, ready to grow. ## Technical sheet | Item | Description | | --- | --- | | Client | Magnelusa | | Sector | Offices and businesses | | Scope | Business Wi-Fi · firewall and security · servers and infrastructure · IT Unlimited | | Year | 2024 | ## Who looks after the network once the work is done?
