20 Site planning
ATTENTION
You can use a location builder tool to plan your site. For details, see “Location
builder tool” (page 239).
Other modules describe in detail the procedures related to deployment.
These procedures vary according to site details and user requirements.
Position and use of available cabling
Cables that connect the basestation to the DECT system must meet or
exceed the UTP Cat 5 standard. New cabling is required if the existing
cabling does not meet the standard.
Radio coverage
A basestation coverage list is required to indicate the following.
a
areas where radio coverage is required;
b
areas excluded from radio coverage due to the proximity of sensitive
electronic equipment;
c
areas where radio coverage is not required;
d
areas where radio coverage is not feasible or requires specific
basestations;
e
objects inside buildings; and,
f
details of furniture, cupboards, and machinery on every floor of the
building
If customers request that the basestation be installed out of sight, do not
mount basestations in unsuitable locations, such as behind stone columns,
next to air ducts or horizontally on the ceiling. Radio coverage cannot be
guaranteed if basestations are mounted in unsuitable locations.
Know in advance where coverage is required. Some examples of
coverage areas follow.
• elevators
• stairwells
• washrooms
• outdoor areas
