User's Manual

If only a small area is covered (less than 10 metres radius), then there is effectively
no through-the-floor coverage on the floor above an installed basestation.
4.
Go to the floor below the deployment tool and repeat the above process.
If the area that can be covered is small, then there is no through-the-floor coverage
below a basestation location.
5. If there is no through-the-floor coverage or coverage is restricted to a small area.
Deploy each floor using critical points, or if the floors are exactly similar, deploy as
multi floors with the same layout.
Assess floor layout
The deployment procedure changes according to the similarities and differences of the
floors.
All floors have the same layout
To begin a multi-floor deployment when all of the floors have the same layout, deploy one floor
and enter the data on the floor plan. Use the data from the deployed floor for other identical
floors.
For example, if floor 2 of an office tower is laid out with cubicle style offices with a perimeter
of enclosed offices, and floor 3 is designed and laid out in the exact same manner, then both
floors can have the exact same installation profile for basestations.
All floors do not have the same layout
If there are any deviations in the floor plan from floor to floor, use the critical point method to
deploy each distinct floor. For more information, see
Preparing the tool for deployment on
page
78.
Note:
Do not underestimate the importance of changes in floor layout. Simple changes in a room
from a meeting room to a storage room can have significant impact on the coverage from a
basestation.
Multi-floor coverage situations
The following situations require multi-floor coverage:
1. Atriums on page

2.
High rise buildings on page
104.
3.
Unusual conditions on page 104
.
Use Multi-floor coverage procedure, if instructed to do so, from
