3.1 Recommendations for KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/ KIRK
Repeater Placement
• In large halls, the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater should be installed vertically
in the middle of the space below the drop ceiling.
• In corridors, the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater should be installed vertically
preferably at corridor intersections where propagation patterns follow the corridor patterns.
The KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater should point towards the corridor and
preferably in the middle height between the floor and the actual ceiling. In case there are high
objects in the area, the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 should be installed above those objects
but still kept distant from the ceiling.
• In multi-story buildings, KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters may be installed on
opposite sides of the floors to take advantage of the floor-to-floor coverage. The coverage
design cannot rely entirely on floor-to-floor propagation; each case must be verified due to
variations in local attenuation patterns.
• If the building contains a central open space area with windows to the other areas, KIRK
Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters may be installed in this open space to provide a good
coverage for the rooms in the inner circle on all floors (e.g. hotels).
• If a KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater hangs vertically on a wall, the RF coverage
in front of the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters is twice as large as the coverage
at the rear. When a KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeater is installed on the outside of
an outer wall, the RF coverage behind it is strongly attenuated by the wall.
• KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters should not be installed near large metallic
objects.
• Reinforced concrete structures have a high attenuation factor inside the building. They
decrease the RF coverage range of the KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters and
therefore requires a higher number of KIRK Wireless Server 600v3/KIRK Repeaters in the
building. Lighter types of construction require fewer base stations since attenuation figures are
considerably lower.
