M700 VoIP/DECT deployment limitations

The M700 system is a very powerful DECT system. Compared to most competitors it does not require
special controllers or licenses for building your DECT network. An installation can be extended with
additional M700 base stations.
Due to the highly integrated system and the "sharing" of resources there are some limitations and
things to consider while planning or extending an existing installation:

One base station will become the master base station, which will "organize" the installation
and synchronize the other base stations (slave base stations) with the network topology.

Outgoing from the "master base station", a maximum of 6 additional base stations levels can
be installed. This means a maximum of 7 levels of base stations in a line (row) including the
master.

The maximum amount of users/handsets/SIP‐registrations is 200.
Each base station can hold a maximum of 30 users, so you need at least 7 base stations to
achieve the maximum amount of users (but more than 7 won't allow more than 200 users).

Each base station allows to have 8 narrow band calls in parallel

M700 VoIP/DECT Network deployment considerations

To deploy a multicell DECT network, there are some requirements to follow and some limitations.
A multicell DECT network is based on a master/slave architecture. The master base station will ensure
that all the slave receive the network layout. This means the slave cells are "synchronized" and are
"aware" of each other to allow seamless handover for users handsets.
A maximum of 7 sync levels are supported, that means starting from the sync Master (Level 1), you can
deploy and cascade up to 6 additional base stations (slaves) outgoing from the master. This means, if
you want to cover a long corridor, you should set up the master base station in the middle, this allows
the levels to be in both directions.
Case #1: Synchronisation Chain with One Master Sync.
