Deployment
Deployment
The base stations in a FON-D72 multi-cell network must synchronize with each other to ensure a seamless handover
while roaming. For a successful deployment of the multi-cell network, take measurements for the optimum positions of
the base stations.
There are three key deployment tasks:
1.
Estimating number of base stations based upon handsets on page 10
2.
Estimating number of base stations based upon area on page 11
3.
Calculating base station layout and measurements on page 12
Estimating number of base stations based upon handsets
The following requirements must be considered when estimating how many base stations are needed and deciding
where they should be placed:
l
DECT radio coverage of the entire site.
l
Number of connection channels to avoid capacity bottlenecks.
l
Base station overlap for synchronization to guarantee roaming and handover.
The following table shows the maximum number of connection channels and handsets that can be handled in relation to
the number of FON-D72-B base stations:
