Does Emirtech Technology deploy 3CX phone systems in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Emirtech Technology supplies licences, deploys and configures 3CX software PBX for businesses across Abu Dhabi — including Mussafah, Khalifa City, ADGM, Yas Island, Masdar City and KIZAD — and provides post-installation annual maintenance contracts. As a systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems), we manage the full project from site survey through to handover and ongoing support.
Is Emirtech an authorised 3CX dealer or official 3CX partner?
Emirtech is a systems integrator experienced in deploying and managing 3CX, not an officially tiered 3CX reseller or certified partner — we are not a 3CX Platinum, Titanium or Gold Partner, not a Yealink certified channel partner, and not a Microsoft Teams Phone certified consultant. We are not affiliated with 3CX (USA/Cyprus), authorised 3CX distributors in the UAE, Yealink, Grandstream, Snom or Cisco. We do not hold ISO 27001, NESA, ADHICS or PDPL certification. Our role is to supply appropriate licences through available channels, handle all technical deployment work, and manage the system on your behalf — our value is in the integration expertise and local support, not a vendor badge.
Can Emirtech supply SIP trunks directly for a 3CX deployment?
SIP trunk carriage in the UAE is TDRA-licensed exclusively to du and Etisalat — Emirtech does not operate unlicensed VoIP-to-PSTN gateways or resell third-party international SIP trunks. We register and configure du or Etisalat trunks against your 3CX instance, including number porting and failover routing.
Do you operate a 24/7 NOC or SOC for 3CX call-quality monitoring?
No. Emirtech does not operate a 24/7 Network or Security Operations Centre. Our annual maintenance contracts include scheduled health checks, firmware updates and priority-response fault callouts during business hours; continuous real-time monitoring is not part of our standard service.
How much does a 3CX installation cost in Abu Dhabi, and can I get a free consultation?
The total cost depends on the number of simultaneous calls licensed, whether you choose on-premises or hosted deployment, the volume of SIP trunk channels, the number of physical desk phones and any associated cabling or server hardware. Emirtech provides free site assessments and itemised quotations with no obligation — call +971 55 651 7843 or email
[email protected] to arrange a consultation.
Can 3CX replace our existing analogue PABX or legacy digital phone system?
Yes. 3CX can be integrated with analogue telephone adaptors and VoIP gateways to allow a phased migration — retaining existing handsets initially while routing calls over SIP trunks — or it can replace a legacy system entirely in a single cutover. Emirtech assesses your current infrastructure and designs a migration path that minimises disruption to your operations.
Does 3CX support WhatsApp Business and mobile working for remote staff?
Yes. 3CX includes a WhatsApp Business integration that routes customer WhatsApp messages to your team alongside regular calls, and the 3CX iOS and Android apps allow staff to make and receive business calls on their mobile devices using their office extension number — making it well suited to organisations with field teams, multiple branches or hybrid working arrangements.
What is the difference between on-premises 3CX and a hosted private cloud deployment?
An on-premises 3CX installation runs on a Windows or Linux server at your site, keeping all call data within your premises and allowing internal calls to continue even if the internet is interrupted. A hosted private-cloud deployment runs on a virtual machine in a UAE data centre or your own cloud environment, making it accessible to remote staff without a VPN and reducing on-site hardware requirements. Emirtech recommends the most suitable option after a free site survey.
Which is better for my business — 3CX, Microsoft Teams Phone, or Yeastar?
It depends on what you already use and how your team works. If your organisation already runs Microsoft 365, Teams Phone keeps everything inside the Teams app your staff already use daily, at the cost of being tied to Microsoft's own licensing and calling-plan structure. 3CX and Yeastar are both dedicated PBX platforms — Yeastar's hardware-appliance model suits businesses that want a physical on-site device with a simpler licensing structure, while 3CX's software-based approach (on-premises or hosted) gives more flexibility for organisations that want to run it on an existing server or virtual machine. Emirtech installs all three and will recommend based on your existing Microsoft 365 usage, budget and number of sites — see our
3CX vs Yeastar comparison for a full breakdown.
How is 3CX licensed, and what size licence do I need?
3CX licences are based on the number of simultaneous calls (how many calls can be active at the same time) and the edition, not on the number of extensions. The right size comes from a short call-volume check at the survey: how many staff are on the phones together, how many calls are internal, and whether you need call recording, a call-centre module or video meetings. We confirm the current editions and terms with the licensing supplier before quoting, and we include the licence in a written itemised quotation. Emirtech is not a 3CX partner or distributor.
What does a 3CX installation include in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain?
A typical 3CX installation covers the site survey, choosing on-premises or hosted deployment, installing and securing the PBX, registering your du or e& SIP trunk, setting up extensions, ring groups, the auto-attendant and call recording, provisioning desk phones and the mobile and desktop apps, number porting, staff training and a handover document. Cabling and network checks are included in the scope when needed. Support after go-live can be quoted as a maintenance agreement.
What are the 3CX editions, and is 3CX free?
3CX offers a free entry edition for very small users and paid editions that add features and raise the number of simultaneous calls; the paid editions are sold as an annual licence sized by simultaneous calls, not by users. Edition names, limits and prices change, so check them on the 3CX
licensing page and
price list before you decide. Emirtech helps you pick the right edition and call capacity at the survey, installs and configures the system, and includes the licence in a written itemised quotation. Emirtech is not a 3CX partner or distributor.
How does 3CX work?
3CX is phone system software that runs on a server in your office, in a private cloud or on a hosted service. Staff register desk phones, the mobile app or the desktop app to it over the internet, and the system connects to the outside world through a du or e& SIP trunk. It handles extensions, call routing, voicemail, the auto-attendant, queues and call recording from one management page. Emirtech designs the setup, installs and secures the server, registers the trunk, provisions the phones and trains your staff. Emirtech is not a 3CX partner or distributor.
Can 3CX connect to our CRM?
3CX can link to many CRM and business systems, for example to show the caller's record when a call arrives and to log calls, but what is supported depends on your CRM and the 3CX edition. We check your CRM against the integration options at the survey before quoting and list the work in the written quotation. See also our
call centre dialer and CRM integration page.
