SpectraLink Corporation Link WTS Installation and Operation

The MCU supports four Base Stations and up to 16 Wireless Telephones. Up to four Link 150 M3 MCUs can be linked together for extended coverage area. Chained MCUs support up to 64 Wireless Telephones maximum.

SpectraLink offers an analog MCU that works with telephone systems (CO, PBX or Key Systems) with analog (loop start) ports. We also offer digital MCUs that work with the most common brands of telephone systems' (PBX or key systems) digital ports.

∙Base Stations – act as a radio transceiver to provide the communications signal between the Wireless Telephone and the MCU. Base Stations are slightly larger than a smoke detector and are typically mounted on the ceiling, in strategic locations throughout the facility. A single Base Station can provide radio coverage for an area of 5,000 to 50,000 square feet depending on building obstructions. Base Stations may be located up to 2,200 cable feet from the MCU.

When a Wireless Telephone user makes or receives a call, the Wireless Telephone and Base Station establish a digital radio communication link. As the user moves around the coverage area, calls are “handed off” to the Base Station that is able to provide the best radio signal (typically the closest Base Station). These handoffs involve the Wireless Telephone establishing a communication link with another Base Station and dropping the previous link.

∙Link Wireless Telephones – communicate with the Base Station using digital spread spectrum transmission at 902-928 MHz. Employees can carry Wireless Telephones to keep in contact as they move throughout the building. The Wireless Telephones use on-premise wireless technology; they are not cellular or satellite phones. They are connected to the facility's existing telephone system and, just like wired telephones, can receive calls directly, receive transferred calls, transfer calls to other extensions, and make outside and long distance calls (subject to the restrictions applied in your facility.)
