5.1.1 KIRK Repeater provides RF Channels to KIRK Handsets

The KIRK Repeater is a building block to be used to extend the coverage area in a KIRK solution. The repeater does not increase the number of traffic channels, however it provides a larger physical spreading of the traffic channels and thereby increases the coverage area established with the KIRK Base Stations.The repeaters are mainly used in areas with limited traffic. The KIRK Repeater is available with either 2 or 4 voice channels. It is wireless and does not need physical connection to the KIRK Wireless Server, making it very easy to install. The repeaters can be supplied with an external antenna making it possible to create radio coverage in a remote area without cabling to the rest of the installation.

Note The repeater is also termed by some manufacturers as the WRFP (Wireless Radio Fixed Part).

The RF communication is provided according to the band standard at the site:

•Repeater - DECT provides four RF channels of 1.88 GHz, DECT standard, used in Europe, Australia and South America.
