Through a public tender, DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting installed the network infrastructure of three buildings belonging to the Portuguese Public Administration Social Services (SSAP), with structured cabling and 56 Wi-Fi 7 access points, and manages it under an IT Unlimited contract. The buildings are in Évora, Aljubarrota and São Pedro do Sul. The project also covered switching and network security, followed by ongoing monitoring and support.

At a glance

  • 3 buildings: Évora, Aljubarrota and São Pedro do Sul.
  • 56 access points: Wi-Fi 7, with coverage in every building.
  • 1 public tender: With requirements and deadlines set out in the tender specification.

The challenge: three buildings, one tender specification and services that cannot stop

Three buildings in different locations needed secure networks ready for the years ahead. For a public body, the risk is not only technical: it is failing tender requirements or interrupting public service during the works.

The project therefore had to meet the tender specification, keep services running during installation and deliver the technical rigour and documentation such projects require.

The solution: a wired and wireless network, end to end

DataRoad's enterprise networking team took on the entire wired and wireless network, backed by years of experience and certifications from leading manufacturers.

The result: a modern network in all three buildings, under ongoing management

  • A modern network in all three buildings: Wired and wireless, with 56 Wi-Fi 7 access points.
  • Reliable Wi-Fi 7 coverage: 56 access points deployed.
  • Tender fulfilled: Delivered with rigour and security.
  • Ongoing management: Monitoring and proactive support under IT Unlimited.
