Configuration Directions, Base Station Planning

zX–ray rooms in hospitals protected by lead walls, computer rooms in banking buildings protected against unwanted interference, etc. do not allow radio signals to enter.

zExhibition halls or production halls may give reflections due to huge metal structures. This causes interference which reduces the capacity and coverage area per Base Station.

3.4Departmental Differences

zMore traffic is generated in sales, purchasing, technical support departments, cafeterias, etc. than finance & administration or research & development. Consequently, a higher traffic capacity is needed in these areas requiring additional Base Stations to be installed. More details follow in Chapter 5.

3.5Architecture

zCentral areas giving access to stairs and elevators may require extra Base Stations due to heavier constructions.

zCoverage in elevators may require Base Stations closer to or in the elevator shaft.

zCorners and irregularities in the construction (partial renovation, extensions of older buildings etc.) have an influence.

zConcentration of air–conditioning ducts, etc. may influence the coverage.
