FAQ
Buying from IPTEC
How do I request a quote?
Use the quote form: tick the equipment types you need, add quantities or a short project summary, and send it with your name, company and email.
What should I include in a request?
Quantities, the site type, indoor or outdoor use, any brands or standards you must match, and your timeline. Each solution page lists the details that matter most for that requirement.
Do two-way radios need a licence?
It depends on the radio type, frequency band and where it will be used. Tell us the country of use and we’ll flag what to check with the relevant authority.
Where can I see equipment in person?
At our showroom in Gargash Center, Nasser Square, Deira, Dubai. Opening hours are on the contact page.
