KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance
No overlap
In areas where two Base Stations are separated by steel doors, gates, elevators, stairwells,
etc., the handset may not have time to register with the next Base Station, resulting in the
call being dropped. This can be resolved by moving the Base Stations closer together, or
by installing another Base Station near the obstruction.
If the overlap area is not enough (less than 9 to 14 / 30 to 45 feet), there is a risk of
dropping the connection while moving from one coverage area to another. This is
because of the time that the handset needs to scan for an alternative Base Station. Too
much overlap results in a wasted coverage area, and too little results in dropped calls.
Small overlaps
In this example, two coverage areas meet at a perpendicular intersection such as a
hallway or outside of a building corner. When moving around in the area where little or
no overlap occurs, there is a chance the call may drop. This is because the handset does
not have time to register with the second Base Station before the handset has exited the
coverage area of the first Base Station. This can be solved by placing another Base Station
or KIRK Repeater in the corner of the meeting corridors to provide extra coverage.
