7.6 Determining coverage areas
After the transceivers and splitters (if present) have been initially set up proceed to test the
coverage areas and re-locate transceivers and splitters, if necessary, for optimal coverage.
The following figure illustrates some FreeSpeak II coverage scenarios.
Note: Cells can be completely overlapped for density (by co-locating multiple transceivers).
Cells can be overlapped at boundaries (increases radio coverage).
For most working systems Clear-Com uses a ratio of 3-4 (1.9GHz) or 2-3 (2.4GHz) users per
transceiver. This is to allow seamless roaming in all scenarios.
Note: Under ideal conditions, the maximum range between an FS II beltpack and a transceiver is 500
metres. Typical distances are between approximately 50 metres (about 160 feet) and 150 metres
(about 490 feet), depending on the particular environment.
7.6.1 To determine coverage areas
When the matrix, splitter(s), and transceivers have been placed and wired, turn on an FS II
beltpack (assuming that it has been registered with the system) and walk the coverage area.
Alternatively, use the Site Survey mode on the beltpack (see Doing a site survey to determine
coverage areas on page 81 below). It is often best to begin with one transceiver in place, and
then place additional units to enhance coverage.
