Since 2015, DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting has managed Ubiquiti UniFi networks across more than 138 sites and 1,321 devices, all built to the same technical standard, so every fault is located and fixed without lost time. When every office has a network built a different way, every failure starts with an investigation, and that investigation is downtime the client pays for. Standardising on UniFi removed that cost.

The challenge: fragmented networks that cost hours of downtime

Companies wanted networks that were reliable, scalable and simple to run, without the cost and complexity of traditional solutions. What we found was the opposite: equipment from several vendors, each configured its own way.

In practice, that meant slow maintenance, hard-to-trace faults and, before any repair, the need to work out how that installation had been built. For the people running the business, the effect was always the same: longer outages and costs that were hard to predict.

The solution: one platform, one standard, one team

Wi-Fi, switches, routing and cameras all answer to a single console, with duplicated paths wherever a failure would be expensive, and centralised management.

  1. Design: coverage survey and design of the topology and alternative paths around each client's operation.
  2. Delivery: cabling, antennas, switching, routing and CCTV installed and configured by the same engineers.
  3. Operation: monitoring, updates and ongoing support, with one technical standard across the whole portfolio.

One principle applied to every client: a unified network, with redundancy, run by the engineers who built it.

The result: more than 138 sites and 1,321 devices under management

Today DataRoad manages more than 138 active sites, many with redundancy, and 1,321 devices: access points, switches, routers, antennas and cameras. All of them sit on the same technical foundation and are looked after by the team that installed them.

  • An invisible network: It runs so consistently that staff stop thinking about it.
  • One standard: The same configuration and the same monitoring at every site.
  • Continuous operation: If a critical component fails, redundancy keeps the service running.
  • One accountable partner: Whoever designs also installs and manages, so installations are ready sooner.

Why companies choose DataRoad for UniFi networks

Because the work is recognised by the manufacturer itself. Ubiquiti has published DataRoad case studies internationally as examples of solutions deployed for Portuguese clients, recognition earned project by project over the years. DataRoad is a certified UniFi partner.

Experience teaches us how to choose, integrate and maintain the right equipment for each client. And there is something no certificate measures: we genuinely enjoy designing, installing and bringing well-built networks to life, from the first coverage survey to day-to-day management.

Frequently asked questions about Ubiquiti UniFi networks

What does a unified Ubiquiti network mean?

It means access points, switches, routers and cameras are managed from a single console, with the same configuration logic and a complete picture of the installation.

Does DataRoad manage UniFi networks outside Lisbon?

Yes. From its headquarters in Alfragide, DataRoad supports clients nationwide with remote, on-site and telephone support, and also serves international companies in Portugal, Europe and the US.

What is redundancy for in a UniFi network?

It keeps the business working when a component fails. That is why we design alternative paths at every critical point of every site.

Which companies can work with DataRoad?

Companies with more than 10 workstations, always under a support contract and directly with the end client. DataRoad does not sell standalone equipment: the network it installs stays under its management.
