While performing a survey you will require the following information:
-
Building Layout
Accurate building plans are an essential aid to both the site survey and also for later fault analysis. Ensure that you have an accurate plan of the customer premises, including the locations of mains power outlets and network connection points.
-
The area of coverage required
Which areas within the plans the customer expects to be covered. Do they expect coverage outside the building and or in buildings separate from the main building.
-
The number of simultaneous users within different areas
Each base station can support up to 8 simultaneous calls (4 for a Compact Base Station).
-
Perform the survey during normal business hours. The movement of large items of machinery, such as lifts and shutter doors, will then be observable during the survey.
-
Ensure that you have read this documentation and understand the requirements of both phone handover and base station synchronization.
-
As the survey occurs, note whether additional network connection points are required and check for main power outlets. Consider the use of Power over Ethernet, if possible, in order to simplify base station installation.
