How Much Does Enterprise WiFi Cost in UAE? (2026 Pricing Guide)
By Netbiz Technology LLC · 22 September 2026
Enterprise WiFi for a typical UAE office costs between AED 2,000 and AED 15,000 depending on the size of your space, the number of access points needed, and whether you also need new switches. This guide breaks down exactly what drives the cost so you can budget accurately before getting quotes.
What Determines Enterprise WiFi Cost?
The total cost of an enterprise WiFi deployment in UAE has three components: access point hardware, supporting network switches (if not already in place), and installation/configuration. Most small-to-medium UAE businesses underestimate the switch cost — if you're adding 10 APs, you'll likely need a managed PoE switch to power them.
- Number of access points — the single biggest cost driver
- Access point model tier (entry WiFi 6 vs high-performance WiFi 6)
- PoE switch requirement (needed to power the APs over ethernet)
- Cable runs (Cat6 from switch to each AP location)
- Management controller (some deployments need an AC controller)
- Configuration complexity (VLANs, guest portals, 802.1X)
Access Point Hardware Cost (Huawei eKit UAE)
Huawei eKit access points are the most cost-effective enterprise WiFi 6 hardware available in UAE. Here is a general pricing guide — contact Netbiz Technology for current pricing as it changes with exchange rates and stock levels.
| Model | Type | WiFi Standard | Approx. Price Range (AED) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huawei eKit AP371 | Ceiling dome | WiFi 6 (2.4+5 GHz) | 450–600 per unit | Offices, schools, warehouses |
| Huawei eKit AP362E | Wall plate | WiFi 6 (2.4+5 GHz) | 700–900 per unit | Hotel rooms, office cubicles |
| Huawei eKit AP7060DN | Ceiling dome WiFi 7 | WiFi 7 (2.4+5+6 GHz) | 900–1,200 per unit | High-density, future-proof deployments |
Switch Cost (PoE Switch for APs)
Every access point needs power and a network connection — a managed PoE switch provides both over a single Cat6 cable. If you don't have a suitable switch already, factor this into your budget.
| Switch Model | Ports | PoE Budget | Approx. Price (AED) | APs Supported |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huawei eKit S310-8P2ST | 8x PoE | 60W total | 400–550 | Up to 2–3 low-power APs |
| Huawei eKit S310-24P4S | 24x PoE | 370W total | 900–1,200 | Up to 12 APs at 30W |
| Huawei eKit S310-48P4X | 48x PoE | 740W total | 1,600–2,200 | Up to 24 APs |
Total Cost by Business Size
| Business Type | Space | APs Needed | Hardware Cost (Est. AED) | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small office (10–20 staff) | 100–200 sqm | 2–3 APs | 2,000–4,000 | APs + 8-port PoE switch |
| Medium office (30–60 staff) | 300–600 sqm | 4–8 APs | 5,000–10,000 | APs + 24-port PoE switch |
| Large office (100+ staff) | 1,000+ sqm | 10–20 APs | 10,000–25,000 | APs + multiple switches + AC |
| Hotel (50 rooms) | Per-room deployment | 50 APs | 40,000–55,000 | Wall-plate APs + floor switches |
| School (10 classrooms) | Corridor + rooms | 10–15 APs | 8,000–15,000 | Ceiling APs + 24P PoE switch |
| Warehouse (1,000 sqm) | Open plan | 4–6 APs | 4,000–7,000 | Ceiling APs + 24P PoE switch |
Installation & Configuration Costs
Hardware is only part of the cost. Installation includes running Cat6 cable from your network cabinet to each AP location (typically above ceiling tiles or along trunking), mounting the APs, connecting them to the switch, and configuring VLANs, SSIDs, and any guest portal. For a 10-AP office in UAE, professional installation typically adds AED 2,000–5,000 on top of hardware costs, depending on cable runs and configuration complexity.

How to Reduce Your WiFi Deployment Cost
- Choose ceiling APs (AP371) for open-plan offices — cheaper per unit than wall-plate APs
- Use wall-plate APs (AP362E) only for hotel rooms where in-room signal quality is critical
- Centralise your switch location to reduce cable run lengths
- Huawei eKit Zero-Touch Provisioning eliminates complex on-site configuration time
- Buy hardware in one order — suppliers including Netbiz often offer volume discounts
- Reuse existing Cat6 cable runs where the cable is already certified
