Ascotel® DECT System
Location areas
Location areas are used to divide the radio area into as many as four locally
subdivided supply ranges. The system knows the location area in which a handset
is located and only needs to send messages to the handset within that location area.
Location area partitioning helps to reduce the system load caused by the signalling
of incoming calls.
Fig. 4: Example of location areas
Distributing radio units among several location areas only makes sense as of a
certain system size. The radio units are allocated by means of configuration. For a
description of the best way to group the radio units of a system in location areas, see
page 30 ff.
