Deploying KIRK Wireless Server 6000
3–3
• If a base station/repeater (wall) hangs vertically on a wall, the RF coverage
in front of the base stations/repeaters is twice as large as the coverage at
the rear. When a base station/repeater is installed on the outside of an
outer wall, the RF coverage behind it is strongly attenuated by the wall.
• Base stations/repeaters should not be installed near large metallic objects.
• Reinforced concrete structures have a high attenuation factor inside the
building. They decrease the RF coverage range of the base
stations/repeaters and therefore requires a higher number of base
stations/repeaters in the building. Lighter types of construction require
fewer base stations since attenuation figures are considerably lower.

Deployment of a KIRK Wireless Server 6000 Multi-Cell
Sync over Air
As a user moves from one base station radio coverage area to another, the call
must be handed over to the next radio unit. To create handover between radio
units it is necessary to establish synchronization chains. For more information
about synchronization chains, refer to “Examples of Synchronization Chains”
on page 3-4. If the synchronization between radio units is lost, then handover
is not possible and ongoing calls will be terminated.
Note
This section only contains deployment information specific to the
KWS6000. For more information about deployment in general, refer to the
Deployment Guide accompanying the Deployment Kit. The Deployment
Guide provides instructions on how to use the Deployment Kit to
determine the most suitable locations for the different radio units.
Note
Each base station must be placed within the radio coverage area of at least
one other base station or repeater (radio units).
