Polycom SpectraLink KIRK Base Station
The KIRK Base Station controls the traffic channels in the air and works as link between the KIRK Handset and the KIRK Wireless Server. The KIRK Wireless Server operates the KIRK Base Stations through a wired standard twisted pair of cables. Only one pair is required per KIRK Base Station and the cable length may be up to 2,000 meters. Each KIRK Base Station covers a circular area of between 50 and 600 meters. It is not possible to define a more exact size of a KIRK Base Station coverage area, as it depends on location specifics such as building materials etc. Before a KIRK solution is installed, careful deployment is performed in order to define how many KIRK Base Stations are needed to provide the necessary coverage at each individual location. Wall- or Ceiling-Mounted There are two different versions of the KIRK Base Station hardware; one for mounting on the wall and another for mounting on the ceiling. The ceiling-mounted KIRK Base Station are especially useful for the hospitality and healthcare verticals in which there is often a need to assure radio coverage in long corridors. This is also the case for office environments within a wide range of vertical markets. Being able to place the KIRK Base Station on the ceiling makes it easier and less expensive to ascertain the needed coverage. Ceiling-mounting furthermore facilitates the work involved with assuring radio coverage in large factory buildings as they can be placed in the middle of the facility where the speech channels are needed the most, instead of along the walls. The ability to place the KIRK Base Stations in clusters adds to the assurance of the needed number of speech channels - exactly where they are needed. Power supply sold separately
