The Grandstream GWN7700MP fixes that without turning a simple edge cabinet into a full managed switching project. It gives you 2.5GbE copper on all five RJ45 ports, PoE/PoE+ output on four of them, and an SFP+ uplink that can run at 1G or 10G back to the main switch. So you keep the branch side simple, but you don’t trap newer access points or uplinks behind a 1Gb bottleneck.

Product Overview

The GWN7700MP is a compact unmanaged switch for buyers who need more speed than a standard desktop switch, but don’t need VLAN programming, controller setup, or ongoing switching admin for a small site. It’s a practical fit for Grandstream GWN7700MP Dubai enquiries because so many UAE jobs sit in that middle ground: too important for a cheap retail switch, too small to justify a full managed switch stack.

All five RJ45 ports support 100M, 1G, and 2.5G auto-negotiation. Four ports can power compatible PoE or PoE+ devices. Then there’s one SFP+ uplink port for 1G or 10G fiber backhaul to the main rack or floor switch. In a multi-floor office in DIFC or an Abu Dhabi branch with fiber back to the communications room, that matters. You can keep the edge cabinet small while still handing traffic off upstream at a higher speed.

It’s also fanless. Useful in reception counters, education admin rooms, and meeting room side cabinets where fan noise becomes annoying fast. Wall mounting is supported too, which helps when the site has no proper rack and the switch needs to sit inside a neat low-profile cabinet. For Grandstream-led projects, it also sits naturally beside our Grandstream PABX solutions when the same branch is carrying voice, data, and PoE endpoints from one small network cabinet.

Features That Matter On Real Jobs

The obvious headline is 2.5G. But the bigger reason this model sells is that it solves mixed-speed branch deployments cleanly. You can plug in a newer Wi-Fi 6 access point that actually benefits from more than 1GbE, keep older 1G endpoints online, and still have room for PoE devices without adding an injector for every port. Cleaner. Less clutter in the cabinet.

PoE handling is another detail buyers usually miss. Grandstream rates the switch at a 57W total PoE budget. That’s enough for typical combinations like one or two access points plus cameras, or phones plus a wireless AP, depending on endpoint draw. More importantly, the switch uses PoE priority logic. If total demand goes over budget, it shuts down the lowest-priority PoE port first instead of letting the whole edge switch become unpredictable. For small CCTV and wireless jobs, that’s a useful protection layer.

Switching capacity is 45Gbps, which is a strong number for a compact five-port unit. Add 9KB jumbo frame support and the GWN7700MP becomes a sensible edge switch for file-heavy offices, local NAS access, or uplink-heavy environments where multiple endpoints can burst traffic at the same time. Not every site needs that. But a lot of SME offices in Dubai Marina, DMCC, and warehouse admin blocks in Al Quoz do.

Because it’s unmanaged, deployment is fast. That’s why it works well for branch refresh jobs, temporary expansion racks, school admin offices, retail stores, and hospitality front desks. The buyer isn’t paying for advanced policy control they’ll never use. They’re paying for speed, PoE, and a cleaner uplink path back to the rest of the network. If the site also needs support beyond the handover stage, we usually pair these projects with our IT AMC support in Dubai for ongoing monitoring of the wider office environment.

Specifications

Platform Compatibility

Because the GWN7700MP is unmanaged, compatibility is straightforward. It works at Layer 2 as a plug-and-play edge switch for Grandstream networking devices, third-party access points, IP cameras, IP phones, NVR uplinks, office PCs, NAS units, and fiber-connected upstream switches. No controller is required to bring the switch online. That keeps commissioning simple for small UAE office projects and branch expansions.

It’s a sensible fit under Wi-Fi 6 and newer high-throughput wireless deployments where access points can push beyond standard gigabit uplink speeds. It also fits mixed Grandstream voice environments where phones, gateways, and branch data equipment share a compact cabinet. For sites using Etisalat or du business connectivity, the switch simply sits between the ISP handoff, router or firewall, and your edge devices. Clean and predictable.

Which Model Fits

The GWN7700MP is the right fit when the job needs compact multi-gig switching with PoE. That usually means one small cabinet, a handful of powered edge devices, and a faster uplink back to the core. Retail. Clinics. Branch offices. Hotel reception. Not a big stack. Not a full access-layer redesign.

What’s In The Box

You get the Grandstream GWN7700MP switch and the power adapter needed to bring the unit online. For most Dubai SME jobs, that’s enough to get the cabinet built quickly. Connect copper endpoints, patch the SFP+ uplink, and the switch is ready to work.

Stock & Availability

This is the kind of switch buyers usually want fast. A site opens next week. A branch cabinet needs one more PoE edge switch. An AP refresh has exposed a 1Gb bottleneck. So stock position matters. We handle Grandstream GWN7700MP UAE supply for Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain, including free zone projects in DMCC, DIFC, JLT, Business Bay, JAFZA, and DAFZA.

Often Bundled With This Product

Industry Fit

A strong UAE use case for this model is hospitality and front-office branch networking. Hotels and serviced offices often need a quiet switch in a small cabinet that can power a phone, an access point, and a couple of cameras without taking up much space. The GWN7700MP suits that well. Fanless hardware. Fast copper. Clean uplink back to the core.

It also works nicely for education admin buildings, trading offices, and smaller warehouse offices where there’s limited room in the rack but the network still needs to support a few modern high-throughput devices. In Al Quoz and DIP sites, that usually means one edge cabinet serving office staff, a couple of cameras, and a wireless AP covering dispatch or admin.

Abu Dhabi & UAE Supply

For buyers searching Grandstream GWN7700MP Abu Dhabi or Grandstream GWN7700MP UAE, the appeal is simple: multi-gig edge switching without management overhead. It’s suitable for SME upgrades in Abu Dhabi city offices, school admin departments in Sharjah, branch counters in Ajman, and smaller commercial sites in Ras Al Khaimah where one compact switch needs to carry both power and data.

Because this switch is unmanaged, rollout is fast. That helps during branch refreshes where downtime needs to stay short and the installer wants predictable behaviour. Mount it on a wall or place it on a shelf, patch the devices, connect the uplink, and the cabinet is ready. One line on installation: we can supply it as a standalone unit or as part of a wider networking and PABX project.

FOB Dubai Export

This model also moves well on export because it fits branch and SME jobs that need compact PoE switching without a large managed-switch budget. We supply Grandstream GWN7700MP on FOB Dubai terms for buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Typical buyers are IT resellers, telecom installers, branch rollout contractors, and project importers building small office or retail cabinets in volume.

FAQ

Will this switch power four PoE devices at the same time?

It can power up to four compatible PoE or PoE+ devices, but the total available PoE budget is 57W. So the real answer depends on the power draw of each device. Four low-draw phones or cameras are easy. Four high-draw access points may need a different design.

Can I use the GWN7700MP with Etisalat or du business internet?

Yes. It sits behind your router, firewall, or ISP handoff as a standard unmanaged edge switch. That makes it a straightforward option for Etisalat and du business sites in Dubai and Abu Dhabi where you just need stable powered edge connectivity.

Does the SFP+ port only run at 10G?

No. The uplink supports 1G or 10G, which is useful when the branch cabinet is being connected back to an existing fiber core that may not yet be standardised on one speed everywhere.

Is reseller pricing available for project quantities?

Yes. Registered IT companies, integrators, and export buyers can request reseller pricing for project quantities, bundled requirements, and FOB Dubai supply. WhatsApp us on +971 52 521 9305 for current availability and quantity breaks.

What happens if the connected PoE devices need more than 57W?

The switch uses PoE priority handling. If total demand goes over budget, the lowest-priority port is shut down first. That gives more predictable behaviour than letting all connected powered devices become unstable at once.

Can I order this for a project in Africa or GCC?

Yes. We handle supply for export projects to Africa, GCC, and South Asia with FOB Dubai pricing for project quantities. Buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Pakistan, and Bangladesh regularly source compact networking equipment this way.
