KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance
guide coverage areas are represented by abstract areas and bear no resemblance to the
actual physical coverage area provided by the KWS1500.
Coverage Area Calculations
One Base Station:
Coverage A = (π x r

Extending Radio Coverage with Repeaters
A KIRK Repeater is a useful tool for extending a Base Station’s coverage area. It is
therefore ideal where extra coverage is required in a low traffic area.
KIRK Repeaters do not provide additional active speech channels to the KIRK Wireless
Server. Instead, the Repeaters extend up to 2 simultaneous traffic channels of the host
Base Station. Base Stations do not handover speech channels to the Repeater, therefore
when a Wireless Handset is off hook using a Repeater channel, the associated base
Station channel also remains in use. A Repeater only takes channels from a Base Station
when there is active traffic on the Repeater.
