WMS 4000 8-CHANNEL SETUP

EXAMPLE: 8-CHANNEL SYSTEM FOR VARIABLE ARRANGEMENTS OF SEMINAR ROOMS

Wireless systems are becoming increasingly popular for conference centers and seminar hotels. Unlike open-air events and large-scale performance facilities, the main focus here is not on coverage or the optimal utilization of as many channels as possible, but maximum fle- xibility.

Several events taking place at the same time, adaptable sizes of seminar rooms, and a high level of reliability, combined with maximum mobility of lecturers – these are the essential parameters that need to be considered when planning wireless systems for seminar centers.

The example of a typical seminar hotel can demonstrate the large variety of options avail- able to organizers with a well-designed 8-chan- nel system.

Optimum room coverage via high-performance antennas and diversity reception for preventing dead spots are the key prerequisites. Anything from one to eight channels must be available for three structurally separated rooms, one of which can be divided by a variable partition. Optimum RF coverage of each room is ensured by one pair of booster antennas per room and two pairs in the variable room.

This arrangement maintains full diversity func- tionality even if the room is partitioned. The various antenna cables from the seminar rooms are joined together by antenna combiners and the signals distributed to the receivers via antenna splitters. Where longer cable runs are needed, additional antenna boosters are inte- grated into the line.

To save space, the wireless system can be mounted in a rack or placed in a separate equipment room. This unobtrusive installation will not impair the effect of the interior decora- tion.

Seminars

At seminars and lectures held in relatively small rooms, care must be taken to identify possible dead spots that can occur despite the short distances. Furniture, people, lots of electronic devices (luminescent tubes!), curtains, blinds etc. can cause wireless systems to fail even in con- fined spaces. We recommend using a true diversity system in conjunction with high-performance antennas.
