Pre-installation
2
This chapter provides common step-by-step pre-installation procedures and several sample
configurations for both Strata AirLink Wireless systems. The configurations range from a single
system with one or two Base Stations to multiple-overlapping systems. The anticipated coverage
of 320,000 square feet per Base Station and a maximum number of 32 users for each system was
used to layout the samples.
It is highly recommended that a site survey and BER test be conducted to assist in the careful
planning of Base Station placement, ensuring the highest possible quality of coverage. The survey
should include:
♦
Location of Base Stations
♦
Maximum broadcast range required from any Base Station
♦
High traffic areas and general coverage areas, such as conference rooms, cafeterias, and
manufacturing floors
♦
Obstructions between Base Stations and handsets
♦
Office locations and number of handsets within each location
♦
Construction materials used in walls, including the insulation, and floors between multistory
buildings
♦
Window coatings and coverings
♦
Large metal objects, such as equipment, doors, and fluorescent lamp shades
♦
Distance of Base Stations from the BSIA or RWIU
There are special installation requirements to meet Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1459
regulations in the United States that are explained in the
“Underwriters Laboratories (UL)”
