Table 2 : Minimum distance between office areas and Base Stations
553-3601-106 Standard 2.00 September 1996
— it is easy for you to keep the Base Stations beyond the minimum
distance from where users frequently use their portable, such as in
offices
— it gives you more planning flexibility
Install Base Stations on the ceiling unless
— the ceiling has architectural or decorative features that prohibit the
installation of Base Stations
— the ceiling construction prevents you from mounting a Base Station
on it
— the ceiling is made of a material that does not allow you to run wiring
to Base Stations mounted on it
— the customer requests that Base Stations not be mounted on the
ceiling
• Position Base Stations away from where a portable is used in an office
by at least the amount shown in Table 2, and as illustrated in Figure 6.
Installing the Base Stations on ceilings or high on walls helps to
maintain these minimum distances.
