2.1 IP DECT Server 6000
Below is an overview of the system capacity of the IP DECT Server
6000.
Table 1 Overview of System Capacity
Description
Capacity
Max. number of base stations
Note: A minimum of 1 base station is required as the Server 6000 does not have a built-in radio.
255
Max. number of simultaneous calls on each base station
11
Max. number of repeaters on each base station
6
Max. number of simultaneous calls on an IP DECT Server 6000 (G.711)
30
Max. number of registered handsets
500
The Server 6000 controls the wireless infrastructure of the IP DECT
system. It manages base stations, repeaters and the IP interface to the
AlphaCom/ACM exchange.
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the protocol used for controlling
communication sessions between the Server 6000 and the AlphaCom/
ACM exchange.
A Server 6000 is installed directly on the Local Area Network (LAN) and
must be managed as part of the corporate network.
2.2 Wireless Bands
The wireless solution supports two wireless bands, allowing operation in
various countries and regions. Supported wireless bands are:
● ETSI DECT (1880-1900 MHz), referred to as DECT
● USA DECT (1920-1930 MHz), referred to as 1G9
The wireless band used by an IP DECT 6000 System is determined by
the base stations and handsets delivered with the solution.

This document only describes equipment in the ETSI DECT band.
2.3 Base Station
The base stations are positioned in the area to send and receive
calls, i.e. between the wireless server and the handset. The base
station contains internal antennas and handles 11 speech channels
simultaneously. A base station is able to synchronize with other base
stations. When the base station is synchronized with other base stations,
a person speaking on a handset can move between base stations (i.e.
handover) without any interference.
The transmission length is up to 100 meters/329 feet according to IEEE
802.3u on a twisted pair cable, e.g. cat.5e. The base station is a class
1 PoE device (802.3af) and must be powered accordingly (maximum
power supply consumption is 3.0W according to PoE 802.3af). The
radius coverage of the base station is up to 90 meters/295 feet indoors
and up to 300 meters/984 feet outdoors with a handset in line-of-sight
(coverage area onboard ship is 50 meters indoors and 150 meters
outdoors).
Coverage area decreases depending on the type of building materials
and obstructive elements. To ensure proper coverage in the areas
