ReStream in Cascais: Wi-Fi 6, Layer 3 PoE and redundant internet

DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting installed and manages the network at ReStream's Cascais office, a US livestreaming technology company, with Layer 3 PoE switching, Wi-Fi 6, an enterprise firewall and redundant internet links with failover, to the standard required by its US headquarters. ReStream, based in Texas, runs a multichannel livestreaming platform. After installation, the entire infrastructure moved under DataRoad management on an IT Unlimited contract.

The challenge: an office in Portugal to the standard of a global operation

ReStream lets users stream live to several channels at once. For a company like this, a slow network or an internet outage is not a nuisance: it puts the client's service at risk. When setting up in Portugal, it needed a local partner able to meet the standards set by headquarters.

  • Performance: A fast network for a global streaming operation.
  • Security: Enterprise-grade perimeter protection.
  • Availability: Redundant internet connectivity.
  • Local management: One trusted partner in Portugal for everything.

The solution: a complete network installation and upgrade
