to plan an atrium. No precise steps to follow when you deploy an atrium, but you must consider
several points. For more information, see
Unusual conditions on page 60.
Figure 31: An atrium
Consider the following points to deploy in an atrium:
• Plan atriums to the full height.
• Plan an atrium as one full size room, not floor by floor.
• Place cell centers within an atrium only if you intend for them to cover the atrium.
• Do not place cell centers in an atrium if you intend for them to serve adjacent areas.
• To serve adjacent areas, place the cell centers into these areas.
• Deploy the atrium first if the atrium is more than one-third the size of the building, or more
than one cell in size.
• If cell centers in adjacent dense areas serve one floor of an atrium, verify the coverage
of the cell on all of the floors that meet with the atrium.
High rise buildings
Deploy a high rise building as an unusual type of multi-floor deployment.
Test through-the-floor coverage first. If there is no through-the-floor coverage, deploy each
floor. Repeat the deployment for all floors with the same layout. In all other cases deploy floor
by floor. You must deploy a floor with many meeting rooms deploys differently from how you
deploy an area with cubicles.
Unusual conditions
No precise steps exist to follow when you deploy in unusual condition, but you must consider
several points.
To plan an unusual condition, consider the following situations.
• Cell centers are too close on page 61
• Cell centers are too far apart on page 61
• Too many cell centers on page 61
