Why office wireless fails in Dubai
Almost every weak wireless network we are called to in Dubai has the same three causes. Access points were placed where there happened to be a cable, not where a survey said. Glass partitions, foil backed gypsum and lift shafts were never modelled. And the 2.4 GHz band was left wide open, so every neighbour on the floor competes for the same three usable channels. None of that is fixed by buying a stronger access point.
A survey before a single access point is ordered
We start with a predictive survey built from your floor plan, with wall materials and ceiling heights entered as they actually are. For sites where accuracy matters, a warehouse, a clinic, a trading floor, we follow it with an on site survey that measures real signal, noise and interference level by level. The output is a heat map, an access point count and a channel plan you can hold us to.
Design for the devices you actually run
Density matters more than coverage in a modern office. A meeting room with fourteen people on video calls needs a different design from a warehouse aisle with six handheld scanners. We size the design around concurrent clients, application mix and roaming behaviour, then set minimum data rates, band steering and airtime fairness so slow devices cannot hold the cell back.
- Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E designs, with 6 GHz used where client devices support it
- Seamless roaming for voice and video across floors and buildings
- Separate SSIDs and VLANs for staff, guests, payment devices and IoT
- Captive portal guest access with terms acceptance and time limits
- Outdoor and warehouse coverage using rated enclosures and directional antennas
Structured cabling that is certified, not just terminated
Cable outlives every switch and access point you will ever buy, so it is worth doing once. We install Cat6, Cat6A and fibre backbones to ANSI TIA and ISO IEC standards, label every outlet at both ends, and hand over certification results for each link rather than a promise that it works.
- Cat6 and Cat6A copper, OM4 and OS2 fibre backbones
- Rack build, patch panel dressing, cable management and power distribution
- Containment, trunking and floor boxes coordinated with your fit out contractor
- Full link certification, labelling schedule and as built documentation
- CCTV, access control and audio visual cabling run in the same programme
How a project runs
Most Dubai fit outs give IT a narrow window between joinery finishing and staff moving in. We plan backwards from your occupancy date, agree containment routes with the fit out team early, and stage switches and access points fully configured before they reach site. On handover day the network is live, documented and monitored, not a stack of boxes waiting for a visit.
What you receive at handover
- Pre and post installation heat maps
- Certification report for every cable link
- Labelled floor plans and patching schedule
- Switch, controller and access point configuration backups
- Warranty registration and a named engineer for support
Talk to an engineer about your site
Send us a floor plan and a headcount and we will come back with an indicative access point count, a cabling scope and a cost range, usually within two working days. If wireless is already in place, we can start with a survey of what is there and tell you honestly how much of it is worth keeping.
