Projecting the DECT network

Projecting the DECT network
There are a number of conditions to be considered when setting up a DECT network. They affect
the subscribers' requirements for the telephone system as well as the technical requirements
for the DECT wireless network. These conditions must therefore be recorded and evaluated
in a projection phase.
To project your DECT network, proceed as follows:
•
First determine the requirements for the telephone network and establish the environmental
conditions for the DECT wireless network.
•
Define how many base stations are required and their probable optimum positioning.
Create an installation plan for the base stations.
•
Specify how many DECT managers are required. You need an additional DECT manager
when the base stations are not in the same LAN subnet, and when you use more than 60 base
stations and/or more than 250 handsets. You can deploy a maximum of 100 DECT managers.
In a multi-DECT manager system, you require an integrator as a virtual machine(
•
Take measurements to check whether the positioning of the base stations at the assumed
positions meets the requirements and whether the reception and sound quality is sufficient
everywhere. If necessary, change the installation plan to optimise the DECT wireless network.
Determining the requirements for the telephone network
Clarify the following to determine the requirements for the telephone network:
Subscribers and subscriber behaviour
•
How many employees should be able to make calls and how many subscribers should
be able to make calls simultaneously?
•
How many handsets are required?
•
How many base stations are required?
•
Where should telephone calls be possible?
•
In which buildings (floors, stairwell, basement, underground garage)?
•
Outdoors (on footpaths, on the car park)?
For more information on this, refer to Section
•
How are the handsets distributed from a location perspective?
•
How many calls will be made?
•
What is the telephony behaviour of the subscribers? How long is the average call?
•
Where are the hotspots, i.e., where do a lot of subscribers gather simultaneously
(open-plan office, canteen, cafeteria, etc.)?
•
Where are telephone conferences held? How many telephone conferences are held
and how long are these?
