The BSIA system supports up to two Base Stations and one BSIA or controller. The RWIU system
supports up to four Base Stations and interfaces directly to the Strata DK system without using a
controller. Both systems support up to 32 handsets.

Base Station

Each Base Station (see
or 8 simultaneous speech paths and up to
320,000 square feet of calling coverage for
either system. Since handsets are not in
continuous conversation, a system can
support more than 8 handsets, up to a
maximum of 32. Multiple systems can be
active simultaneously.
The Base Station has radio transmitters and
receivers that relay calls between the BSIA or
RWIU, handsets, other telephones and trunks.
It has four external antennas that enable the
best choice for receiving and transmitting the
strongest signal.
The Base Stations can be mounted on walls or ceilings up to 2,000 feet from the system, using
twisted-pair continuous cable. They receive power directly or locally. If powered locally, they can
be installed up to 3,300 feet from the system. LEDs provide diagnostic information for System
Administrators or technical personnel (see
In typical office environments, each Base Station has a
broadcast range (see
can also be placed one meter apart in the same
coverage area to increase traffic capacity without
interference.
The Base Station software is easily upgraded from the
BSIA or RWIU, simplifying system administration
and eliminating the need to remove the Base Stations
for system upgrades.

Handset

The handset is small, lightweight, and easy to use. Its Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows
alphanumeric information and icons that report status. It has many features depending upon the
interfacing telephone system. The handsets used with the RWIU system have many of the same
Strata DK Digital Telephone (DKT) features.
Unique Electronic Serial Numbers (ESNs) are programmed into the handsets at the factory and are
automatically configured the first time a call is made.
