An office that works every day with teams on four continents cannot have a network that limits video calls, files or security. In 2023, NMQ Digital entrusted DataRoad with building the network infrastructure of its new Lisbon office from scratch: 2,500 metres of Cat6/Cat6A structured cabling, an organised rack, corporate Wi-Fi and Fortinet switching and firewall, all certified and documented.

What did a client with this profile require?

A network at group level: performance for intercontinental collaboration, uninterrupted reliability and security consistent with the other centres. DataRoad designed the physical and logical layers together.

What was built, layer by layer?

  1. Cable: 2,500 metres of Cat6/Cat6A cabling, with every point certified.
  2. Rack: a technical rack with a tidy, labelled patch panel.
  3. Wireless: corporate-grade access points.
  4. Core and perimeter: Fortinet switching and firewall.
  5. Records: labelling, documentation and final validation of the infrastructure.

Why was Fortinet chosen?

Because it brings switching and firewall together on a single platform, with centralised management. A manufacturer specialised in network security delivers strong protection, good performance and room to grow. Fewer consoles, fewer points of failure and simpler operations.
