The price of a telephone switchboard for 10 lines is not just the sum of ten phones. It includes the switchboard itself (analog PBX or IPBX), the lines, cabling, network if the lines are IP, commissioning and operator lines. Store prices allow you to estimate the lines and PoE switch. The switchboard, cabling and labor are billed on a quote: we do not estimate them here to avoid giving you an incorrect total. AsloTech supplies and installs telephone switchboards and IPBX from Avaya, NEC and Panasonic; their price depends on the model, licenses, number of lines and calls. This page details what is itemised line by line and what is not.
In short
- 10 analog stations Panasonic KX-TS500: 10 × 2,700 = 27,000 DA HT (price from asloitech.com, 06/11/2026, subject to availability).
- 10 PoE IP stations D-Link DPH-115GE with a 24‑port PoE switch: 10 × 17,800 + 58,000 = 236,000 DA HT, on the same basis.
- No full total: the exchange (switch or IPBX), cabling, commissioning and operator lines are quoted.
Quotation assumptions
Unless otherwise stated, the items listed were in stock as of 06/11/2026 at the asloitech.com store. Prices are excl. VAT (HT). Totals add HT prices and cover only the listed equipment.
Scenario 1: wired analog standard (10 Panasonic KX-TS500 stations)
Pricable equipment :
- Single‑handset wired station Panasonic KX-TS500MX: 2,700 DA HT, i.e. 10 × 2,700 = 27,000 DA HT.
Typical order size on our quotes for this station: 203 units in 8 orders, at 1,600 to 2,200 DA HT each (median 1,729 DA HT). These quote prices differ from the store price: do not add them together. For cordless stations, the line “wireless phone Panasonic DECT KX‑TG1711” (not sold in store) ranges from 2,500 to 3,500 DA HT, median 2,700 DA HT (9 orders). A DECT phone base plugs into an analog extension port like a wired station.
On quote :
- the analog PBX (Avaya, NEC or Panasonic at AsloTech): extension ports for 10 lines, and line ports according to the number of simultaneous external calls desired;
- the cable pair for each station to the standard and installation.
Scenario 2: PoE IP standard (10 D-Link DPH-115GE stations)
Pricable equipment :
- IP station D-Link DPH-115GE: 17,800 DA HT, i.e. 10 × 17,800 = 178,000 DA HT. The store description indicates a PoE‑powered Gigabit station. D-Link advertises two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, one to the network and one for a computer.
- PoE budget: using the maximum 802.3af port value of 15.4 W, 10 stations require at most 10 × 15.4 = 154 W.
- Genata 24‑port Gigabit PoE switch, 300 W total (GNT-ES28GRH2-P): 58,000 DA HT. The announced PoE budget of 300 W covers the 154 W.
Why not the Genata 8‑port PoE 120 W switch, at 15,000 DA HT? It has only 8 PoE ports: it cannot power 10 stations, and ports are also needed for the IPBX and router.
Subtotal stations and switch: 178,000 + 58,000 = 236,000 DA HT.
Manageable option: the GNT-ES28GRH2-P description does not mention management. To separate voice into a VLAN (see VLAN: segment your enterprise network), choose the Genata 24‑port PoE 300 W “Manageable L2+” switch (GNT-P5428GC) at 65,000 DA HT, i.e. 65,000 − 58,000 = 7,000 DA HT more. The subtotal becomes 178,000 + 65,000 = 243,000 DA HT.
If you already have a Gigabit switch without PoE: an injector per station avoids changing the switch. The PoE injector TL-POE150S is listed at 4,800 DA HT, i.e. 10 × 4,800 = 48,000 DA HT for ten stations. Each injector requires a power outlet, to be backed up by UPS, and must match the station’s PoE standard.

For ten Avaya J129: 10 × 16,000 = 160,000 DA HT. Verify before purchase that the station is compatible with the chosen IPBX.
On quote :
- the IPBX (Avaya, NEC or Panasonic at AsloTech): appliance, server or software licence, sized in lines and simultaneous calls;
- a network cable per station to the switch (maximum 100 m, see Cable Cat6 or Cat6A for categories), copper: the CCA aluminium‑copper is not compliant with cabling standards and penalises PoE;
- installation, configuration and commissioning.

What the price does not include
- The switchboard: analog PBX or IPBX Avaya, NEC or Panasonic, on quote. The store references for example a NEC SL2100 CPU card (19,000 DA HT, out of stock as of 06/11/2026): it is a component of a system, not a complete switchboard by itself. We do not publish prices for a full switchboard: it is quoted on a quote.
- The operator lines : subscriptions and connection. An analog line carries only one call at a time. A SIP trunk depends on your operator's offer.
- Wiring and installation : by quote, based on the number of points and lengths. See Price of a network cable: how much does an RJ45 point cost.
- Commissioning: creation of lines, numbering, voicemail, call rules, acceptance testing. AsloTech handles commissioning and tests; they are quoted on a quote.
- The UPS : size it to the actual consumption of the IPBX, switch and router (see UPS: how to choose the power and our page professional IT equipment).
- Travel : typical range observed on our quotes for the line “Travel and intervention”: from 1,500 to 18,000 DA excl. VAT, median 4,500 DA excl. VAT (27 orders).
- Civil engineering: trenches, drilling, cable routing.
Comparison of the two scenarios
| Criterion | Scenario 1: analog | Scenario 2: IP PoE |
|---|---|---|
| Ten workstations | 27,000 DA excl. VAT (KX-TS500MX) | 178,000 DA excl. VAT (DPH-115GE) |
| Network | None | PoE 24‑port switch: 58,000 DA excl. VAT |
| Standard | Switch: on quote | IPBX: on quote |
| Wiring | One pair per workstation from the standard | One network cable per workstation to the switch |
| Depends on | Standard mains (standard) | Mains (IPBX, switch), local network quality |
| Adding a new station | Free extension port on the standard and pair to the new station | Free PoE port, remaining PoE budget, accounts on the IPBX |
The two scenarios are not identical: none includes the standard. The difference on the only positions is 178,000 − 27,000 = 151,000 DA HT. It pays for richer positions (Gigabit ports, PoE, screen, broadband voice) and the network that carries them. If the need is limited to receiving and making calls on a single site, analog covers that need with simpler equipment. IP is justified when multiple sites are required, smartphone applications, voicemail via e‑mail or an extension without new cable pairs. The details of the architectures are in IP telephone standard or analog.
Frequently asked questions
Can I mix analog and IP stations on the same standard?
Yes, in two ways. A hybrid standard accepts analog and IP stations. Otherwise an IPBX receives analog stations via an FXS gateway, with one port per phone. The mix allows phased migration. Proprietary digital stations of an old standard do not connect to an FXS gateway.
How much does the installation alone cost?
We do not publish a standard installation rate. It depends on the number of points, cable lengths, access to conduits and the type of standard. Wiring by point is covered in Price of a network wiring; the installation and commissioning of a standard are quoted on a quote.
What if I add 5 more stations later?
In analog, free extension ports on the standard are needed, otherwise a manufacturer’s expansion card plus a cable pair to each new station. In IP, 5 free PoE ports, sufficient PoE budget and 5 accounts on the IPBX are required. With the 24‑port switch in our example, 15 stations require at most 15 × 15.4 = 231 W, below the advertised 300 W. They occupy 15 of the 24 ports, not counting those of the IPBX and router.
Which standard do you recommend for an SME in Algiers?
It depends on four criteria: the number of sites, desired functions, Internet access stability and power supply quality. A single site that only needs simple calls can stay analog. IP is suitable as soon as you want advanced functions, multiple sites or easy expansion, provided you have a proper network and UPS. In all cases, plan the backup described in IP Telephony: what to do in case of outage. Regarding brands, we supply and install Avaya, NEC and Panasonic switchboards: the model is chosen after studying your needs.
