concentrations of handsets may occur. The overlap carries the excess call
load to adjacent base station to provide uninterrupted services to
subscribers.
• Typically, installations such as office buildings, hotels and hospitals
should be equipped with base stations/repeaters on several floors to
create uniform and complete RF coverage.
• Open areas can be covered with a sparse network of base stations. In such
applications, the base stations/repeaters cover an extended range due to
the extended line-of-sight RF propagation capability.
• Ensure that there is not a residential DECT system (home DECT) on the
site.

Recommendations for KIRK Base Station/KIRK Repeater
Placement
• In large halls, the base station/repeater (wall) should be installed
vertically in the middle of the space below the drop ceiling.
• In corridors, the base station/repeater (wall) should be installed vertically
preferably at corridor intersections where propagation patterns follow the
corridor patterns. The base station/repeater should point towards the
corridor and preferably in the middle height between the floor and the
actual ceiling. In case there are high objects in the area, the base
station/repeater (wall) should be installed above those objects but still
kept distant from the ceiling.
• The repeater (ceiling) should be installed in the middle of corridors and
small rooms.
• In multi-story buildings, base stations/repeaters may be installed on
opposite sides of the floors to take advantage of the floor-to-floor
coverage. The coverage design cannot rely entirely on floor-to-floor
propagation; each case must be verified due to variations in local
attenuation patterns.
• If the building contains a central open space area with windows to the
other areas, base stations/repeaters may be installed in this open space to
provide a good coverage for the rooms in the inner circle on all floors (e.g.
hotels).
