Signal transmission
The ideal signal transmission of a base station is omni-directional. All registered handsets can be the same distance
away from a base station in all directions, without interruption of the DECT signal.
Range can be influenced by a variety of environmental conditions. For optimal signal strength, it is best to first
temporarily put base stations in place and measure the signal transmission.
The following table gives a general guideline on the degree to which certain materials will reduce signal strength:
