19. KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation and Maintenance No overlap In areas where two Base Stations are separated by steel doors gates elevators stairwells etc the handset may not have time to register with the next Base Station resulting in the call being dropped This can be resolved by moving the Base Stations closer together or by installing another Base Station near the obstruction If the overlap area is not enough less than 9 to 14 30 to 45 feet there is a risk of dropping the connection while moving from one coverage area to another This is because of the time that the handset needs to scan for an alternative Base Station Too much overlap results in a wasted coverage area and too little results in dropped calls no overlap when steel gate is closed Small overlaps In this example two coverage areas meet at a perpendicular intersection such as a hallway or outside of a building corner When moving around in the area where little or no overlap occurs there is a chance the call may drop This is because the handset does not have time to register with the second Base Station before the handset has exited the coverage area of the first Base Station This can be solved by placing another Base Station or KIRK Repeater in the corner of the meeting corridors to provide extra coverage A 2 28 Small or no overlap Added Coverage for Handover 72160400 issue B 13 KIRK Wireless Server 1500 Installation an
