Several buildings, one network, instead of a separate solution per site.
A municipal office, depot, kindergarten, fire station and event hall often run on separate networks that have grown apart over the years. NDVDL designs and builds the infrastructure that connects these sites in a way that actually makes sense.

How do you connect several municipal buildings into one network instead of separate standalone systems?
A municipal office, depot, kindergarten, fire station and event hall usually run on separate, historically grown networks that each need their own maintenance and barely talk to each other. NDVDL designs a shared network structure across multiple sites, with central protection and clearly separated areas for administration, public Wi-Fi and each individual building. That way every building can still be secured on its own while staying visible from one place, instead of each site ending up as its own isolated solution. For municipalities, clubs and public facilities in Lower Austria and Slovakia, NDVDL builds this as part of network planning and ongoing IT support.
What actually goes wrong in municipalities and clubs
Four patterns that keep showing up in municipal offices, depots and clubhouses.
Every building its own isolated solution
The municipal office, depot, kindergarten and fire station often each have their own router and their own network, set up by different people over the years. Nobody has a complete picture anymore of what is running where, or who can access what.
Resident data without clear access rights
Administrative records and resident data in the office are often equally accessible to every member of staff, regardless of who actually needs them. It is frequently impossible to trace who accessed which file, and when.
Public Wi-Fi on the same network as administration
The library, office or event room often offers guest Wi-Fi that is not technically separated from the administrative network. A separate password for everyone looks like separation, but is not.
Access and documentation that changes with volunteer terms
Responsibilities in clubs and smaller municipalities change with the volunteer term, and passwords and system knowledge often stay with whoever happened to hold the role. The next person in charge frequently finds nothing documented.
Infrastructure that carries multiple sites
Six pieces NDVDL puts in place to bring order to network and IT for municipalities and clubs.
Network planning across multiple sites
NDVDL plans the office, depot, kindergarten, fire station and event hall as parts of one shared network concept, instead of designing a separate solution for every building. Each site still stays individually secured.
Firewall and access rights for administrative records
Resident data and administrative records are technically protected, with access rights based on actual responsibility and logging that makes access traceable.
Separated public Wi-Fi for office, library and event rooms
Public Wi-Fi runs on its own network segment with a captive portal, technically separated from the administrative network. Visitors reach the internet, and nothing on the administrative systems.
Temporary networks for events and festivals
For festivals and events, NDVDL sets up additional, time-limited Wi-Fi and network capacity that gets taken down again afterwards. The permanent administrative network stays untouched.
Video surveillance with clear limits for public spaces
Camera placement at public buildings, recycling yards or playgrounds is planned within what is reasonable in each individual case. NDVDL advises on camera placement and technical implementation; the legal assessment in each case remains a matter for the municipality and its own data protection advisor.
Ongoing IT support despite changing volunteer responsibilities
Access, passwords and network documentation are kept traceable, regardless of who currently holds the volunteer role. Remote maintenance is backed up by on-site visits in Lower Austria and Slovakia.

What projects look like in practice
Three ways NDVDL's work with municipalities and clubs typically takes shape.
Bringing several buildings of a small municipality together
The office, depot and kindergarten run on separate, historically grown networks that individually offer little resilience. NDVDL surveys the current state at each site and plans a shared network structure.
Technical basis for a tender
A municipality wants to put the renewal of its network and Wi-Fi out to tender and needs a technically sound description that makes incoming bids comparable. NDVDL provides that technical basis; the municipality remains responsible for the tender process itself.
Fitting an event hall with a temporary network for festivals
A clubhouse or event hall needs extra Wi-Fi and event technology for individual festivals, without running an oversized permanent setup all year round. NDVDL sets up the capacity for the occasion and scales it back down afterwards.
