Access point coverage rules of thumb
| Area type | Approx. area per indoor AP | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Open-plan office, general use | 200 - 250 sq m | Normal office traffic |
| High-density areas | 100 - 150 sq m | Banking floors, training rooms, hot-desking |
| Concrete walls, glass partitions, metal racks | Coverage cut by 30 - 50% | Needs more access points or better placement |
Rules of thumb only. A site survey gives the reliable access point count for your building.

Business WiFi Cost in the UAE: FAQs
How much does business WiFi cost in the UAE?
It depends on the number of access points, cabling, brand and switching. Quicknet does not publish a fixed price because every site differs, and gives a written quote after a free site assessment.
How many access points does my office need?
About one indoor access point per 200-250 sq m of open-plan office, or per 100-150 sq m in high-density areas. Concrete walls, glass partitions and metal racks can reduce coverage by 30-50%, so a survey gives the reliable number.
Do you do a WiFi site survey?
Yes. A free site assessment, plus a wireless site survey with a heatmap for larger sites. Same-day surveys are available across Abu Dhabi, Mussafah and Al Ain.

Core options are Aruba, Ubiquiti UniFi and TP-Link Omada, with Cisco Meraki, Juniper Mist, Ruckus, Huawei and others for enterprise projects.
