SpectraLink 6000 System
Description
This section generally explains the installation and site requirements
of the SpectraLink 6000 System. The SpectraLink 6000 System is a
wireless communication system that allows hand-held SpectraLink
6000 Wireless Telephones to communicate using the existing
telephone system.
The SpectraLink 6000 System’s advanced micro-cellular architecture
utilizes Base Stations, or cells, located throughout the facility to
accommodate on-premise roaming. As a handset user moves within
the coverage area, the call is seamlessly passed between cells. The
SpectraLink 6300 MCU supports up to 3,200 users and millions of
square feet of coverage, resulting in a scalable enterprise-wide
wireless voice solution.
For simplicity, this manual refers to the existing wired phone
system, whether an on-premises PBX or Telco-provided Centrex
system, as the “telephone system.”
The SpectraLink 6000 System uses a micro-cellular design consisting
of three primary components: the Master Control Unit (MCU), Base
Stations, and Wireless Telephones (handsets). The following diagram
shows an overview of the system.
