6.1 Repeater Description
6.1.1 Repeater provides RF Channels to Handsets
The repeater is a building block used to extend the coverage area in a
system. The repeater does not increase the number of traffic channels.
However, it provides a larger physical spreading of the traffic channels
and thereby increases the coverage area established with the base
stations. The repeaters are mainly used in areas with limited traffic. The
repeater is available with 4 voice channels. It is wireless and does not
need a physical connection to the wireless server, making it very easy to
install. The repeaters can be supplied with an external antenna making it
possible to create radio coverage in a remote area without cabling to the
rest of the installation.
)
The repeater is also termed WRFP (Wireless Radio Fixed Part) by some manu-
facturers.
6.1.2 Repeater Type and Part Number
The repeater contains RF circuitry that is compliant with the local band
standards: UPCS, DECT, or ETSI DECT. The wall-mounted repeater
is available as a full slot repeater. A full slot repeater covers four
simultaneous speech channels. These channels are borrowed from
the attached base station, and are not additional channels to the total
number of channels on the system.
