5.2 Documenting Radio Requirements and Results

If an agreement is made with the customer to accept areas where radio coverage is less then
acceptable, this should be documented and agreed upon with the customer.
Note the results of the Deployment Survey on the relevant floor plan documents. Clearly
document the location of the Deployment Base Station and the expected mounting location of the
permanent Base Station or Repeater and the coverage area provided from this location. For
multi-floor deployments, make sure to note the floor where the Deployment Base is located.
Include in the documentation wiring considerations and special installation instructions.

5.3 Deployment Steps

5.3.1 Deployment in a Single Story Building
1. Determine the outer points of the building for placing the Deployment Base Station.
(points 1, 2 on figure A)
2. Place the Deployment Base near point 1 at a height of 6-8feet/1.8-2.5m and begin the
measurement of the radio signal. Proceed at approximately a 45 degree angle away
from the Deployment Base. Mark on the map the boundary of the radio coverage cell.
3. Move the Deployment Base Station to point 2 at a height of 6-8 feet/1.8-2.5m and in the
same technique measure the signal. Mark on the map the boundary of the radio
coverage.
4. Continue to measure and document the radio signal from each of the main points on the
map. A center crossing point will indicate the possible best location for mounting the
permanent Base Station.
5. Once identified, place the Deployment Base in the center of the area at the point where
each of the coverage cells crossed during deployment. Verify the coverage of the cell
reaches all areas expected.

In some deployments it will be found that the placement of the deployment Base Station will not
overlap with the Deployment Base Station as indicated on the map below. To deploy in these
environments:
1. Mark the corners of the area to be deployed. (Position 1 and 2 on figure B)
