In short: This page covers “WiFi Survey”. Emirtech's own engineers carry out the work, as an independent integrator serving Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. A site survey or assessment comes first, then a written itemised quotation.
| Who provides it? | Emirtech Technology, based at M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi, in operation since 2018. The work is carried out by Emirtech's own engineers. |
|---|---|
| Where? | Abu Dhabi and Al Ain first. Al Ain is served from Mussafah; there is no Al Ain office. In Dubai: smart home, PABX and IP-PBX phone systems, IT AMC and time attendance by scheduled on-site visits, gate barriers, ANPR, video intercoms and turnstiles by Emirtech itself, and CCTV, alarm and access control through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating. |
| What is covered | Predictive surveys from floor plans, passive and active on-site surveys and post-deployment validation. The output is heat maps, access point positions, channel plans and power-level recommendations. |
| Survey and quotation | The survey type, area and deliverables are confirmed in writing before the survey starts. A written quotation follows for any installation. There is no price list and no standard duration: cost depends on the site. |
| Approvals | Landlord or building-management approvals for ceiling, riser or outdoor mounting are the building owner's or client's step unless agreed in writing. |
| Brands | Equipment is supplied through standard UAE distribution channels. Emirtech is an independent integrator, not a vendor partner of any Wi-Fi brand; it holds no manufacturer-level credential of its own. |
| Not included | Internet circuits from the ISP, a 24/7 network operations centre, and security systems in Dubai (Emirtech holds no SIRA licence). |

A WiFi survey from Emirtech Technology is a pre-deployment and post-deployment engineering assessment that determines where wireless access points should be located, what channels and power levels they should use, and how a planned or installed Wi-Fi network will actually perform for users. We operate from M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi, were founded in 2018, and we are an ADMCC-approved Abu Dhabi contractor for the electronic security disciplines we hold; for WiFi survey work, our role is as an independent installer using industry-standard tooling. Reach our survey team on +971 55 651 7843 or [email protected]. We deliver three survey types. A predictive survey is built from architectural blueprints inside Ekahau Pro, NetSpot, or Hamina Wireless — it models wall materials, attenuation, and AP coverage without an on-site visit, and is used to plan access point quantities and positions before any cabling is pulled. A passive survey uses Ekahau Sidekick, NetSpot, or AirMagnet on site to measure existing RSSI, signal-to-noise ratio, co-channel interference, neighbouring SSIDs, and airtime utilisation across every floor and zone. An active survey associates a test client with the live SSID and measures real-world throughput, packet loss, retries, and roaming behaviour at multiple validation points. Deliverables include layered heatmaps (RSSI, SNR, throughput, interference, AP coverage), a written report with channel and transmit-power recommendations, a bill of materials for additional hardware where required, and a validation pass after installation. We plan for WiFi 6 (802.11ax), WiFi 6E (where the 6 GHz band is available under TDRA rules), and WiFi 7 (802.11be) deployments. Honest scope: Emirtech is an independent UAE contractor — we are not a Channel Partner, Authorised Distributor, or Authorised Reseller of Ekahau, NetSpot, NetAlly (AirMagnet), or Hamina Wireless, and we do not represent the TDRA or any other UAE telecom regulator. Survey reports are produced as an engineering input for your in-house network team or appointed wireless integrator; we do not sell active WiFi infrastructure under a distribution agreement.
Survey types we deliver
Ekahau Pro, NetSpot, or Hamina Wireless model your floor plans, wall materials, and attenuation. Outputs proposed AP positions, antenna types, channel reuse, and a bill of materials before any cabling work begins on the Abu Dhabi site.
On-site walk-through with Ekahau Sidekick or NetSpot capturing RSSI, SNR, neighbouring SSIDs, co-channel interference, and 2.4/5/6 GHz airtime utilisation. Identifies dead spots, sticky clients, and rogue access points across each floor.
Test client associates to the live SSID and we measure real throughput, packet loss, retries, latency, and roaming behaviour at marked validation points. Confirms whether the design meets the agreed service-level targets for voice, video, and data clients.
After the access points are installed and configured, we re-run passive and active passes against the original predictive plan, document deltas, and recommend channel, power, and roaming-threshold adjustments to close any gaps that were found on the live network.
From greenfield offices and warehouses in Mussafah and Khalifa Industrial Zone to retrofits in older Abu Dhabi towers, a survey reduces guesswork on AP count, antenna selection, and channel planning. Whether you need a predictive design before tendering hardware or a post-installation validation against an existing deployment, our team uses Ekahau and NetSpot to produce engineering reports your network integrator can act on.

Survey tooling and standards
Industry-recognised survey suite for predictive design, passive measurement, and active validation. Sidekick captures both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz simultaneously and supports 6 GHz on Sidekick 2. Reports include AP placement, antenna direction, and channel maps.
NetSpot for cost-effective passive and active surveys; NetAlly AirMagnet Survey PRO for spectrum analysis and detailed interference investigation. Useful for second-opinion audits and for environments where Ekahau licensing is not justified by site size.
Browser-based predictive planning with 3D models, automatic AP placement, and collaborative editing. Suitable for multi-stakeholder projects where designers, contractors, and clients review the same plan concurrently before commissioning the on-site passive survey.
Designs account for OFDMA, BSS Colouring, MU-MIMO, 6 GHz band availability under TDRA rules, 320 MHz channels for WiFi 7 where supported, and Multi-Link Operation. Power-budget and PoE++ requirements are flagged in the bill of materials.
Emirtech provides honest, written scope so customers, consultants, and main contractors know exactly what a WiFi survey engagement includes and what falls to the customer or to an active-equipment vendor:
If any of the boundaries above need clarification before commissioning a survey, our team will walk through the deliverables, sample reports, and survey methodology on a no-obligation call.
Common questions
A predictive survey is performed in software (Ekahau Pro, NetSpot, or Hamina Wireless) using your blueprints — it models wall materials, attenuation, and AP coverage to plan access point quantities and positions before any installation. A passive survey is performed on site with a measurement device such as the Ekahau Sidekick and captures real RSSI, SNR, interference, and airtime data from the live RF environment. Predictive informs the design; passive validates reality.
For most production deployments, yes. A passive survey shows what the radio environment looks like, but it does not prove that a real client device will achieve usable throughput, low latency, and clean roaming. An active survey associates a test client with the live SSID and measures end-to-end behaviour at validation points, which is the only reliable way to confirm voice-over-WiFi, scanner, or video-conferencing readiness.
No. Emirtech is an independent UAE contractor and not a Channel Partner, Authorised Distributor, or Authorised Reseller of Ekahau, NetSpot, NetAlly (AirMagnet), or Hamina Wireless. Customers who wish to own survey licences should purchase them through the vendors' own authorised channel; we use our own licensed tooling to deliver the survey as a service.
Yes. Predictive and validation surveys cover WiFi 6 (802.11ax), WiFi 6E with 6 GHz channels where the band is available under TDRA rules, and WiFi 7 (802.11be) including 320 MHz channels and Multi-Link Operation where the deployed hardware supports them. The report flags power budget, PoE++ uplink, and switch port requirements so your network team can size the supporting infrastructure correctly.
We cover Abu Dhabi Emirate including Mussafah, Khalifa Industrial Zone, Khalifa City, Mohamed Bin Zayed City, Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, Reem Island, the Corniche area, and Al Ain. Our office is at M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi. Sites in other emirates are reviewed case by case in coordination with the customer's preferred local contractor.
Call +971 55 651 7843 or email [email protected] with the site address, floor area in square metres, number of floors, expected client count, and any existing SSID or controller details. You can also submit the form on our request a quotation page. We respond with an itemised written proposal for predictive, passive, active, and post-deployment scope based on the site information you provide.
The deliverables depend on the survey type agreed, but a site survey normally ends with a written report: coverage (heat map) views of the floor plan, recommended access point positions and counts, channel and power guidance, and the problem areas found. Emirtech confirms the exact deliverables in writing before the survey starts.
