FastFiber delivers high‑performance, rapid‑deployment mobile coverage solutions designed to ensure robust and reliable mobile signal quality in even the most complex indoor and outdoor environments, through its FastConnect service.
Engineered for scenarios where performance is critical, FastConnect enhances 5G networks and incorporates advanced Small Cells and DAS solutions to guarantee dependable mobile communications whenever and wherever they are needed.
Low‑power, short‑range base stations used in 5G networks to increase capacity and improve coverage, especially in areas with a high density of users.
A distributed antenna system connected to a central unit, which broadcasts the 5G signal across multiple physical points. It is used to ensure uniform coverage in complex or confined environments, such as buildings, tunnels, airports, or stadiums, where a single base station is not sufficient.
Simplified deployment and operations
A shared neutral‑host network that supports multiple mobile network operators (MNOs) simultaneously.
It removes the need for each operator to deploy and manage its own infrastructure, enabling a simpler and faster rollout while significantly reducing both investment and maintenance costs.
An end‑to‑end connectivity service that delivers seamless network deployment and management with no operational disruption for customers, supported by specialised professional services, 24/7 operations, and with a flexible and adaptable infrastructure

1. How can I request a proposal or site assessment?
To request a proposal or a site assessment, you can contact our commercial team directly or complete the form available on the FastFiber website.
We provide a free initial analysis, where we evaluate the location, connectivity requirements and business objectives. Based on this assessment, we deliver a tailored proposal including coverage plans and the service options best suited to your space.
2. Can I add IoT integrations or digital services later on?
Yes. The FastConnect infrastructure is designed with a future‑ready approach, allowing new services and integrations to be added over time.
You can incorporate IoT sensors, AR/VR experiences, digital signage, smart parking and other digital services without replacing the existing connectivity infrastructure. This enables phased evolution of the space, in line with your business needs.
3. Which mobile network operators are supported?
FastConnect works with the main mobile network operators in Portugal, ensuring a multi‑operator solution compatible with different technologies and prepared to meet current and future connectivity demands.
4. Who manages licensing and coordination with mobile operators?
FastFiber handles the entire process, including regulatory compliance, municipal licensing and technical coordination with relevant mobile network operators.
This simplifies the process for our clients and reduces administrative workload, ensuring an efficient and seamless implementation.
5. What support and SLAs are included after implementation?
Once deployed, FastConnect includes specialised 24/7 support, proactive infrastructure monitoring and guaranteed performance SLAs.
Service levels (SLAs) are clearly defined and agreed upon during contract award, ensuring reliability, operational continuity and peace of mind.
6. How long does the full implementation process take?
The FastConnect implementation timeline varies depending on the complexity and size of the site, as well as on any need to coordinate with third parties, such as municipalities, property owners, or other entities.
In general, the survey, design, and implementation process takes between 3 and 6 months, depending on the type of project. In the case of indoor or preapproved spaces, the implementation time may be slightly shorter
7. Can this solution integrate with my existing building‑management systems?
Yes. FastConnect is designed to integrate seamlessly and efficiently with existing building‑management systems, including smart‑building platforms, security systems and tenant‑management applications.
We also work with leading technology integrators to guarantee smooth, secure and adaptable interoperability for each environment.
8. Can I access European funding for this project?
Yes. Several European funding programmes can support the deployment of private 5G networks and advanced digital infrastructure such as FastConnect, especially in areas like healthcare, events, smart cities and industry.
Relevant programmes include CEF Digital, Horizon Europe, the Digital Europe Programme and SNS JU, among others. Eligibility and conditions depend on project type, sector and defined objectives.
9. What is the expected lifespan of the infrastructure?
FastConnect is designed with a future‑ready approach, ensuring support for ongoing 5G evolution and future technologies, such as 5G‑Advanced and 6G.
Through software updates and modular enhancements, the solution can remain fully operational for a long period (around 10 years) without requiring full infrastructure replacement, protecting your investment and ensuring long‑term technological continuity.
10. Can I start with partial coverage and expand later?
Yes. FastConnect is built on a modular architecture that supports phased deployment. You can begin with coverage of critical areas, such as operating theatres, conference zones or VIP areas, and expand progressively based on the evolving needs of the space or available budget.
11. What is the energy consumption and environmental impact of this solution?
FastConnect uses next‑generation equipment, such as Radio Dote small cells, designed to be highly energy‑efficient, optimising infrastructure operation and reducing consumption.
This approach aligns with sustainability goals and can be integrated into green‑building initiatives, contributing to certifications such as LEED and BREEAM, as well as broader efficiency and environmental‑impact objectives.
12. Are there limitations for use in underground buildings, tunnels or sensitive hospital areas?
No. FastConnect solutions, based on Small Cells or DAS, are specifically engineered to operate in complex and sensitive environments, including basements, tunnels, operating rooms and other areas with strict technical requirements, ensuring safety and compliance even in radiation‑sensitive or interference‑sensitive contexts.
At FastFiber, we work to bring Portugal closer together through the best fiber optic connection, overcoming barriers and creating a more connected and accessible future for all. Find out the latest news here.
