• On metal walls
Only if there is a safety distance of > 10 cm.
• On metal storage shelves
Only if there is a safety distance of > 3 m.
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
– The installation site should not be in the immediate vicinity of other
electronic equipment, such as, regular (corded) telephones, hi-fi systems
or office or microwave equipment. Only if there is a safety distance

– Directly beside neon/phosphorous lighting tubes, fire alarms, switchgear
cabinets, transformer housings, motor housings.
Only if there is a safety distance

of > 1 m.
– Directly beside antennas of other communication systems.
Only if there is a safety distance

of > 3 m.
3.5.3 Where Should DECT IP base stations be
installed?
• Freely accessible,
– but near the ceiling (> 0.5 m away from the ceiling).
(This prevents the base station being blocked by furniture.)
• As centrally as possible in buildings,
– for example, in corridors or on walls of directly adjacent rooms (in the
case of buildings of light construction materials).
• Outdoor areas
may be part of the coverage area.
NOTE: When planning the installation of base stations in buildings (determining
the installation site), architectural plans (scale of about 1:1000) which show the
structural type of the building can be very helpful.
– Near windows facing in the direction of the outdoor area to be covered.
– Outdoor housing, see Section 3.5.6.
1. The safety distance isolates the installation from other equipment, thus im-
proving the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
