o
Consider the building materials
o
More dense materials means less radio propagation and therefore more base stations
o
Environment
o
Moving interior (warehouse, production facility). Much equipment moving around will
influence the propagation
o
Metal can cause reflections which will influence propagation (i.e. metal blinds, metal
beams, metal shelves, rebars, shielding foils)
o
Where are fire doors/walls placed? These will influence propagation
l System usage
o
Where are people placed? (those that will use the IP-DECT/DECT system)?
o
Are there areas with (extra) high voice-traffic load like:
o
Canteen
o
Nurse office
o
Etc.
l Rough estimation of equipment (if possible)
A rough/budgetary estimate of equipment/base stations can be calculated according to below:
o
Open area (indoor)
o
Office area
o
DECT systems: [Size of area to cover in m2]/800 = number of digital DECT base sta-
tions Necessity: approximately 25 m between the base stations and 15 m overlap to
enable handover.
o
IP-DECT systems (Radio Synchronization): [Size of area to cover in m2]/600 = number
of LAN base stations Necessity: approximately 22 m between the base stations and
overlap from base station to base station.
IP-DECT system (LAN synchronization): [Size of area to cover in m2]/800 = number of
LAN base stations Necessity: approximately 25 m between the base stations and 15 m
overlap to enable handover.
Note:
Be aware that this will not be an exact figure. A deployment of the site will be
necessary to get a correct number.
