KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance
Many small overlaps
Be aware that many small overlaps in the same area can create problems if a handset can
only identify two Base Stations. For example, if the handset is located in such an area and
it is moved in a given direction, the alternative Base Station chosen may be different than
the Base Station towards which the handset is traveling. This situation can cause a
dropped call.
The best solution is to place a Base Station in the middle of the area where there is
merging radio coverage.
Coverage hot spots
Each Base Station supports four simultaneous conversations. In some applications, more
channels are needed in a dense area. To support these installation requirements, up to
three Base Stations can be placed in the same general area to provide extra traffic
capability. This area is referred to as a “hot spot.” Hot spots are generally used in
common areas of a building that will require more traffic channels than a single Base
Station can supply.
Base Stations must be separated by at least 4 to 9 meters / 15 to 30 feet to
avoid conflicts. If a fourth Base Station is required in a high traffic area, to
prevent interference it must be placed at least 22 meters / 75 feet away, if a
direct line of sight exists between the fourth Base Station and the group of
three.
