Different Installation Use Cases
Installing a Single Base Unit in a Small Area (with a radius of less than 100 feet)
100 Ft. Radius
Cell
1. Follow the previous instructions and select the optimal location for the base unit within a
100-foot radius cell that contains the users and the areas where they roam.
2. If the coverage area has multiple floors or goes across heavy walls, the base unit’s range
may be limited to ~50 feet or less for the floor above or across the heavy walls. Test the
base unit’s range and call quality before installing it.

Installing Multiple Base Units in a Small Area (with a radius of less than 100 feet)
100 Ft. Radius
Cell
1. Follow the previous instructions and select the optimal locations for up to 5 base units
serving up to 30 handset users and the areas where they roam. Ideally, mount the individual
base units about 2 feet apart from each other, but place all near the center of the cell as in
the diagram above.
2. In coverage areas with multiple floors or heavy walls, the base units’ range may be limited
to ~50 feet or less for the floors above or across the heavy walls. Test the base units’ range
and call quality before permanently installing them.
• The same limit of up to 5 base units per 100-foot radius cell applies across floors and
heavy walls.
• You will achieve the best results by mounting all the base units:
–
High on the wall near where most users reside or roam most of the time, or
–
On the side of any heavy wall where most users reside or roam most of the time.

their own 100-foot cell.
