About this Document This document contains guidelines for deploying the IP DECT 6000 System on ships, and is intended for qualified technicians who will install, configure and maintain the system onboard. The IP DECT 6000 System comprises the following: Product...
IP DECT 6000 System The main components of the IP DECT 6000 System on ships are: ● IP DECT Server 6000 ● Base Station ● Leaky antenna cable ● Repeater ● Handset ● Alarm Server ● Administrative Computer AlphaCom/ACM Exchange...
Server 6000 Multi-Cell System 3.3.1 Synchronization over Air Base stations must be placed in such a way that overlap of radio coverage between the base stations is established. As a user moves from one base station radio coverage area to another, the call must be handed over to the next base station.
The synchronization chain must always overlap with the base station to sync on. No. 0 is the Sync Master (can be numbered 0 to 255). Other base stations are connected to the Sync Master through the synchronization chain. If one of the base stations in the synchronization chain is not working, then all base stations behind are also not working.
Sync Master (may be numbered 0 to 255). ● Green line : Shows the primary sync ways. ● Red line : Shows the secondary sync ways. For more information, please refer to the IP DECT 6000 System Installation & Configuration Guide. A100K10676 IP DECT Deployment on Ships...
General Layout of a Ship In deploying the IP DECT system, guidelines should be followed for the three separate areas on the ship: ● accommodations and bridge ● below main deck ● outdoor areas The main components of the IP DECT system on the vessel are: Server 6000 Base stations Leaky antenna cable...
● The base stations should be placed in a “z-configuration” from deck to deck due to the spherical coverage area from each base station. Leaky Cable Solution This solution comprises a leaky or radiating cable that is connected to a specially modified base station with two antenna ports.
Deployment Example of Onboard DECT System DECT Deployment based on GA Plan Before you install the IP DECT 6000 System on the vessel, it is necessary to carry out a complete site design based on the GA plan to determine the exact location of the Server 6000 and base stations, as well as the number of handsets required.

Bridge Deck Base station 6 on the Bridge Deck has a primary sync with base station 5 on the Third Deck. If this primary sync fails, then its secondary sync with base station 4 on the Second Deck will take over the synchronization. There is one reserve PoE point placed at a strategic location in case of potential coverage holes and a base station needs to be installed.
Second Deck Base station 4 on the Second Deck has a primary sync with base station 3 on the First Deck. If this primary sync fails, then its secondary sync with base station 2 on the Main Deck will take over the synchronization. There is one reserve PoE point placed at a strategic location in case of potential coverage holes and a base station needs to be installed.
Main Deck Base station 2 on the Main Deck has a primary sync with Sync Master 1 on the same deck. If this primary sync fails, then its secondary sync with base station 11 on the Tween Deck will take over the synchronization. Base station 13 has a primary sync with Sync Master 1.
Tank Top Deck Base stations 14 and 15 on the Tank Top Deck form parts of two leaky cable solutions. Base station 14 has a primary sync with base station 12 on the Tween Deck. If this primary sync fails, then its secondary sync with base station 15 will take over the synchronization.
Deployment Guideline for Accommodations & Bridge The Accommodations and Bridge areas (comprising several decks) normally comprise the following: cabins, mess, wardrobe all other areas above the main deck, including client office, rest and sleeping areas. For the different decks of these areas, the following guidelines should be followed: each 20 x 20 meter of deck needs - under good conditions - one base station...

The standard base station is directed out and down towards the open Main Deck area.
