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

At a glance For decision-makers short on time.

- 01 ReStream, a Texas tech company, needed a network in Cascais matching its headquarters' standards.
- 02 DataRoad installed Layer 3 PoE switching, Wi-Fi 6, a firewall and redundant internet with failover.
- 03 The network and IT estate in Portugal are managed under an IT Unlimited contract, with monitoring.

### In this article

**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

| Layer | Solution | Role |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Core | Layer 3 PoE switches | High-performance routing and power for the access points |
| Wireless | Wi-Fi 6 | Fast, reliable coverage across the office |
| Perimeter | Enterprise firewall | Network security and protection |
| Internet | Redundant internet links with failover | Backup connection for continuity |
| Operations | Continuous monitoring | Early detection of faults across the infrastructure |

Everything sits within an IT Unlimited maintenance and consultancy contract, covering full management of the infrastructure and IT estate in Portugal.

## The result: an office ready to work and a network under ongoing management

- **Office ready:** a complete new network in Cascais, built for a global operation.
- **A fast network:** Wi-Fi 6 and a high-performance Layer 3 PoE core.
- **Continuity:** enterprise firewall and redundant internet links with failover.
- **Ongoing management:** continuous monitoring and IT Unlimited support.
