    SIP-DECT Site Survey Kit User Guide PLANNING AND SITE SURVEY The planing procedure is described below. 1. Ascertain customer requirements. 2. Roughly determine the locations for the base stations. 3. Measure out the DECT system on site. 4. Install and re-measure the system.

    Planning and Site Survey • It is important to ensure sufficiently large overlap areas between neighbouring coverage ranges. The signal should not be so weak that it prevents handover to the next base station. It is necessary to find a solution between a large number of radio units and a reasonable coverage of the premises.

    SIP-DECT Site Survey Kit User Guide If aesthetic considerations prevail, this must be compensated for with a greater number of base stations, provided this is not rendered impossible by metallic ceiling structures. Make sure the transmitters are fitted vertically and that the radiating surface is in keeping with your measurements.

    Planning and Site Survey RF interference fields: PCs and other electronic equipment can affect radio transmission in the vicinity either intermittently or permanently. Base stations and DECT phones generate pulsed RF signals. These can affect sensitive electronic equipment (control systems, measuring sensors, sensors, diagnostics equipment on intensive- care wards in hospitals, etc.) permanently or temporarily.

  • Page 20: Hotspots

    SIP-DECT Site Survey Kit User Guide For each area you must determine the number of base stations currently being used to supply them. It may be necessary to boost the coverage with additional base stations for under-served areas (in accordance with the customer's requirements). To do so, refer back to the base station locations that were determined for the area coverage.

Ideally, however, at least two base stations within a cluster should be in sight so that synchronisation is accelerated and fail-safety is increased. To prevent the measurement from being influenced by other components such as the battery, the components must be positioned at a distance of at least 30 cm from the base station.

    (number of simultaneous connections) at the locations required by the customer. The SIP-DECT Site Survey Kit serves this purpose. With the equipment included in the SIP-DECT Site Survey Kit it is possible to determine the locations for the DECT base stations as required by the customer.

    SIP-DECT Site Survey Kit User Guide Figure 1: Examples of the positioning of base stations inside buildings COVERAGE OF A RADIO SYSTEM The supply range of a radio system does not have to be continuous. In practice, different independent DECT systems can be created. A DECT phone can be logged on to several independent DECT systems.

    SIP-DECT Site Survey Kit User Guide The same principle applies to all antenna types: The narrower the horizontal and vertical radiation range, the greater the distances that can be covered. In this connection we talk of antenna gain, which indicates the ratio of the energy radiated in a particular angle to the radiated energy of a standard antenna (usually a l/2 dipole antenna).
