Repeater Base Stations
Introduction
The INDeX DECT Repeater allows you to extend the range of coverage of a Base
Station without requiring more wiring to the system. The only physical connection
required for each Repeater is a mains supply. A single Repeater can be added for
each existing DBS within an installation

The range at which a Repeater can work will typically be between 50 and 150m
within a building. Each Repeater works in conjunction with an existing parent Base
Station. Each Repeater can handle up to two simultaneous calls. These calls are
'borrowed' from the Base Station. Hence, each call using a Repeater reduces by one
the capacity of its parent Base Station (normal maximum capacity 4 calls).
The use of a directional aerial allows the Repeater to be placed up to 1000m from its
parent Base Station (subject to intervening structures) as follows

Locating Repeater Base Stations
Repeater base stations are subject to the same positioning requirements as normal
base station units
(see "
. Currently the only method for
doing a site survey with Repeater Base Stations is in conjunction with an installed
CSLC and DBS or a DBS running on an INDeX DECT Demo System
As with all DECT Base Stations, the correct performance and functioning of a
Repeater Base Station requires an accurate site survey. Make sure you also
include sufficient overlap for base station handover when positioning
