Spectralink Repeater Description
Spectralink Repeater Provides DECT Coverage to Spectralink Handsets
The Spectralink Repeater is a building block to be used to extend the coverage area in a
Spectralink 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 Spectralink Base Stations.The repeaters are mainly used in areas with
limited traffic.
The Spectralink Repeater is available with either 2 or 4 voice channels. It is wireless and does not
need physical connection to the Spectralink Wireless Server, which makes it 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.
The RF communication is provided according to the band standard at the site:
Caution
For outdoor installations you need to mount the Spectralink Repeater in spots to prevent
influenze from wether conditions.
Note
The repeater is also termed by some manufacturers as the WRFP (Wireless Radio Fixed Part).
