Polycom SpectraLink 6000 Base Station

Base Stations provide the wireless communication channel between the Wireless Telephone and the MCU. Each Base Station supports four simultaneous telephone calls and covers a transmission area of typically 25,000 to 45,000 square feet. The size of the coverage area is dependent on wall structure, ceiling height, and other obstructions within a building.

SpectraLink 6000 Base Stations provides seamless coverage throughout the facility by enabling a smooth handoff of active calls between Base Stations as a user walks throughout the coverage area. Base Stations are small, about the size of a hardback book, and can be mounted under a drop ceiling or on the wall. For outdoor installations, a weatherproof enclosure is available.

High-Density Applications
The SpectraLink 6000 System allows more Base Stations within a concentrated area, increasing call paths for high-density environments. Polycom offers special High-Density Base Stations on the SpectraLink 6300 MCU to accommodate a high concentration of active wireless telephone users. The capacity of the Base Stations and Master Control Unit remains the same, but the High-Density Base Station transmission characteristics allow for a much higher spatial density than the standard Base Stations. The system is well suited for environments where there are many workers with frequent telephone usage within a relatively small area such as call centers, dense office environments, and trading floors.
