MSP for Porto and Greater Porto: managed networks, Wi-Fi 7, certified cabling, firewalls and NOC for industry and services. No-commitment proposal.
More than 10 workstations · support contract · remote, on-site and phone support
For decision-makers short on time.
A production line stopped at 3am, with nobody to restart the switch, costs orders, and an industrial unit cabled like an office fails exactly when export deadlines are tightest. DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting, one of the best companies in Portugal in business IT support and in cabling and wireless network installation, removes that risk with managed networks and IT for businesses in Porto and Greater Porto: certified infrastructure, business Wi-Fi, firewalls and a NOC, run from our headquarters in Alfragide with support across the country. Immediate remote and telephone support, an on-site team when the work requires it and an SLA in the contract.
The region lives on exports (textiles, footwear, metalworking, components) and on a growing services hub between Boavista, Matosinhos, Maia and Gaia. Each profile has its own hidden bill:
On the factory floor, the decisive question is: what happens when the fibre goes down mid-shift? A second carrier with automatic failover costs a fraction of an afternoon's lost production. The same reasoning applies to rack power and any equipment without a twin: if it has no alternative, it is a single point of failure.
| Domain | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| Managed IT service | IT Unlimited contract: users supported remotely and on site, incidents managed, fixed monthly fee. |
| Network infrastructure | Certified cabling, Layer 3 switches and PoE. |
| Business wireless networks | Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 designed from a coverage survey, managed in the cloud. |
| Managed cybersecurity | Managed firewalls, VLANs and centralised antivirus. |
| Data continuity | Servers, NAS and backups with tested restores. |
| Voice and video | IP PBX and CCTV with continuous recording. |
Local proof: the Boavista Palace Serviced Apartments entrusted their wireless network to DataRoad. The scope later grew to 72 apartments, with stable signal in every unit and guests on a network separate from operations.
In Porto's Baixa, the old structure dictates every cable route; in industrial areas, distance rules. The DataRoad team sets the route on site, uses trunking where there is no conduit and runs fibre optics between racks wherever copper cannot cover the distance. At handover, the client receives certification of every outlet in a report, the basis of the whole structured network infrastructure.
Business Wi-Fi starts with on-site measurements and then moves to a central console: changes, firmware and diagnostics without travel. Roaming between APs, Wi-Fi 6 or 7 and isolated guests.
Works on site, management remote. A well-documented network is what makes it possible to fix remotely in minutes what would otherwise require a trip.
Industrial controllers rarely receive patches. We place them in their own segment, with firewall rules that allow only essential traffic. An infected office PC cannot reach the line, and the line cannot reach the ERP.

★★★★★ 5,0 · 52 Google reviewsNo. Almost everything is run remotely and planned visits are set out in the proposal. The four services that matter most to a plant in Matosinhos or a head office in Boavista:
Industry: Magnelusa and Panike (pastry and bakery). Education: Forward College. Public sector: SSAP, 56 Wi-Fi 7 APs. Multinationals: ReStream, with redundant internet and failover and Reltio by SAP. Hospitality: LX Arch Hotel and Ouro Rossio. Healthcare: Clínica Lambert and Clínica Mulher.
The archive also includes the IT project for a car rental company; the full collection is in success stories.
No. Our headquarters are in Alfragide and support covers the whole country: most of the service is delivered remotely, with an immediate response, and visits are planned. On-site support is included in the Premium and Premium 365 plans; the written commitment is the response time, which is what counts when a system is down.
Yes. DataRoad uses trunking and mechanical protection suited to dust, humidity and vibration, runs fibre optics over long distances between buildings and certifies every point at the end. The client receives the certification report and the rack documentation.
Yes. Some clients hand us only network and security and keep their ERP with another partner. The responsibility matrix is agreed before go-live, so each party knows exactly what it owns when an incident occurs.
With a second carrier and automatic failover, the connection switches to the backup circuit with no manual intervention. Monitoring logs the failure and DataRoad handles the incident with the carrier. Without redundancy, the same failure stops operations until the circuit comes back.
From €395/month + VAT on IT Unlimited Essential, from €750 on Premium and from €1,200 on Premium 365. The final price depends on workstations, servers and cover, as a fixed monthly fee with no call counting. See the IT Unlimited plan.
An annual contract with automatic renewal and no lock-in. DataRoad works with companies with more than 10 workstations, directly with the end client and never as a subcontractor. Scope, response times and price are set in writing before go-live.
