Placement of Base Stations
When determining where to place the base stations, following points must be considered:
l To get maximum coverage from a base station the base stations must be as visible as pos-
sible.
l A guideline can be to consider where a light bulb can be placed to light up the maximum area.

l Traffic – how many simultaneous calls can be expected in an area.
o
In an assembly area e.g. in a canteen there will probably be many simultaneous calls dur-
ing lunch.
o
To get an estimate of the simultaneous calls Erlang can be calculated.
l Propagation through building materials – dense materials influence propagation negatively.
Base stations shall be placed away from reflecting materials like metal.
l Base stations shall be placed away from other DECT base stations.
