Introduction
The DECT Repeater allows you to extend the range of coverage of a
DECT system without requiring more wiring to the system. The only
physical connection required for each Repeater is a mains supply.
A Repeater Base Station can be added for each existing DBS within an
installation.

The range at which the Repeater can work will typically be between 50
and 150m within a building. The use of a directional aerial allows the
Repeater to be placed up to 1000m from its parent base station (subject to
intervening structures).
Each Repeater works in conjunction with an existing parent DECT Base
Station. Each Repeater can handle up to 2 calls. Each call using the
Repeater reduces by one the capacity of its parent DBS (normal maximum
capacity 4 calls).
Repeater base stations are subject to the same positioning requirements
as normal base station units (see Site Surveys on page 8). Currently the
only method for doing a site survey with Repeater Base Stations is in
conjunction with an installed DCU and DBS or a DBS running on an DECT
Demo System.
As with all DECT Base Stations, the correct performance and
functioning of a Repeater Base Station requires an accurate site
survey. Make sure you also include sufficient overlap for base station
handover when positioning Repeater Base Stations.
