Managed networks and IT in Coimbra and central Portugal

Coimbra's business fabric mixes healthcare units, laboratories, biotechnology and university spin-outs with retail and services. Many of these organisations process health data, which the GDPR classifies as a special category. That changes what is required of the network infrastructure.

• Health data Encryption, access control and a log of who consulted what, with the ability to prove it.
• Clinical equipment on the network Devices and laboratory systems that need to communicate, but with restricted access.
• Several units Clinics with more than one site using the same systems.
• A continuous schedule Appointments and consultations that do not stop to wait for an engineer.

In a clinic, a failure does not just delay the administrative side: it interrupts consultations, blocks access to patient records and can stop equipment.

In healthcare, laboratories and education, a flat network is a risk. Segmentation starts at the cable: certified structured cabling is designed to separate clinical and administrative workstations, imaging equipment, access points, cameras and access control, each family with its own VLAN. Every point is certified with Fluke and documented in a report.

For business wireless networks, we measure coverage on site and configure roaming between access points, so the session does not drop when moving between consulting rooms or classrooms. Separating networks in a building that was not cabled for it always costs more than doing it from the start.

Distance does not reduce the service: a company in Coimbra receives the same as a client in Greater Lisbon, because much of it runs remotely and visits are provided for in the proposal.

• NOC and monitoring servers, network, links and backups watched from Alfragide; 24/7 monitoring is included in Premium 365.
• Continuity RPO and RTO in writing, ready replicas and annual tests, without relying on someone travelling with a disk.
• Microsoft 365 licences, email migration, MFA and tenant backup, all remote.
• Comparing models IT Unlimited versus a retainer or an outsourced engineer, useful for comparing local proposals.

At Clínica Lambert, in Corroios, DataRoad took over the entire IT function under IT Unlimited, with network and business wireless. At Clínica Mulher, in the Twin Towers in Sete Rios, it installed 192 network points, Wi-Fi 7 and a firewall. These are the same requirements as Coimbra's healthcare units.

• Education network and support on Forward College's Lisbon campus.
• Industry network for Magnelusa's industrial unit and Panike's communications infrastructure.
• Public sector 56 Wi-Fi 7 points across three SSAP buildings, via public tender.
• Multinationals Wi-Fi 6, firewall and Starlink at ReStream and IT Unlimited at Reltio by SAP.
• Hospitality Wi-Fi 7 and CCTV at LX Arch Hotel and network and video surveillance at Ouro Rossio Hotel.

There is also an IT infrastructure project in the car rental sector and the full archive of success stories.

1. Survey — a visit to the unit and an inventory, including the clinical equipment connected to the network, almost always more than management estimates.
2. Fixed proposal — scope, exclusions, response times, monthly fee and the handling of health data.
3. Execution — cabling, active network, security and workstations in windows outside opening hours, at the end of the day or at weekends.
4. Operation — support, monitoring (24/7 in Premium 365), restore tests and reporting to demonstrate compliance.
