5.0 Deployment
5.1 Introduction
The
KIRK Wireless Server 500
supports
6 simultaneous conversations.
Two
KIRK Wireless
Repeaters
are available: 2 channels for 2 simultaneous conversations at a time and 4 channels for 4
simultaneous conversations at a time.
KIRK Repeaters in chain – in the whole chain - supports either 2 or 4 simultaneous conversations
depending on which type of repeater is used.
Before installing the KIRK Wireless Server 500 on-site, the number of simultaneous users within
different areas of the site and the need of coverage area should be thoroughly discussed and
agreed upon with your customer.
In co-operation with your customer you map out the areas in which the users typically are
concentrated. According to this it is calculated whether or not additional KIRK Repeaters are
needed and where they would have to be placed.
Please do not forget to consider whether or not it would be necessary to obtain 100% coverage at
the site in question.
The final result of the performance of the system can only be satisfactory identified after the
installation has been completed.
Before fulfilling the deployment, you would need a clear understanding of the material
composition of the site of the installation, while some materials might reduce the signalling of
the system.
Please be aware of
•
Metal surfaces:
produce increased signal reflection and reduced signal pass-through.
•
Windows with reflective film or specialized glass:
produce increased signal reflection and reduced signal pass-through.
•
Wire Meshes and Grills with apertures of less than 4cm:
block signals as effectively as continuous metal sheet.
•
Fire Doors:
block the signals.
•
Shadows:
“shadows” may be created in parts of the building, i.e. there might emerge spots where no radio
signals exist at all.
•
Weather conditions and seasons of the year:
Different weather conditions might influence the stability of the radio coverage.
Parts of buildings getting wet might act as a shield to the radio coverage.
Different seasons of the year might also influence on the radio coverage.
At leafing foliation the trees in the surroundings of a building might change the radio coverage as
a result of the shielding created by the leaves of the trees
