At a parish council, a failing network means suspended front-desk services, stalled administrative processes and cancelled digital classes. In 2020, the Union of Parishes of Massamá and Monte Abraão decided to put an end to that risk and chose DataRoad to install, reorganise and modernise its entire network infrastructure, wired and wireless, across six public sites. The goal: public services and community projects on a stable, secure foundation ready to grow.
