Simple,
Flexible DECT Cordless Now a Reality
Wavelink Communications’ all-new KIRK dect-z System 500
DECT cordless adjunct system offers a simple, flexible and cost effective
cordless solution to mid-sized sites. Giving any phone system up to 8 cordless
extensions, the KIRK system provides full site coverage via a central base
station and up to 6 cordless repeaters. Flexibility and significant cabling cost
savings are assured, as telephone cabling is only required to the central base
station.
Smaller commercial sites rely on mobile phones (with high call
costs) or domestic-style single cell cordless (with large handsets and limited
coverage) to achieve mobility. There is then a significant jump in cost to the
higher end of the market, which typically uses multi-user/multi-cell solutions
with handover such as DECT or CT-3 technology for on-site communication. The
KIRK dect-z 500 is the first product on the market to fill this gap between low
and high ends.
The dect-z 500 is comprised of 3 elements:
1. Main Base Station/Control Unit
• Interfaces to any phone system via up to 8
analogue extensions.
• The phone system may be located up to 7,000 m from the main base.
• The main base provides 6 simultaneous speech channels for the 8 users,
ensuring high traffic capacity.
• A PC interface allows easy system programming and text messaging interface.
2. Cordless Repeaters
• Up to 6 cordless repeaters can be logged onto the system, providing
extensive site coverage.
• Achieving the required coverage area is quick, easy and cheap with no
cabling required between repeaters and the main base.
• Seamless call handover occurs between the main base and / or repeaters for
conversations on the move.
• A repeater can receive its signal from another repeater (up to 3 repeater
"jumps" are possible) in a "multi-jump" arrangement,
allowing easy expansion of the coverage area.
• Utilising an optional external antenna, a repeater can be remotely located
up to 1 km line of sight from the main base or the repeater it is logged on to.

The dect-z 500 offers the ideal cordless solution to key
personnel in a number of industries:
•Healthcare, including private hospitals, emergency departments, nursing homes
and retirement homes.
•Hospitality, including hotels, motels, clubs and pubs.
•Manufacturing
•Retail, including supermarkets, car dealerships, furniture stores and
superstores.
•Warehousing / Distribution Centers
•Multi-Level offices, for IT support staff, supervisors and fire wardens.
•Security / Emergency Services
Key benefits of the dect-z System 500 include:
• The system connects simply and easily to any phone system, meaning
cordless capability can be achieved at the fraction of the cost of purchasing a
new phone system with integrated cordless functionality.
• Significant cost savings are achieved as a result of ease of installation
and very limited cabling. Internal calls to other extensions are free and
external calls are charged at normal telephone rates.
• Achieving the bulk of cordless coverage via cordless repeaters ensures that
the system is very flexible and "forgiving" of mistakes made in
planning the coverage area. Unlike traditional DECT systems with corded base
stations, coverage can be easily adjusted by just moving cordless repeaters to a
better location. Extending coverage is achieved by simply adding cordless
repeaters.
• The system supports the display of text messages on the Z-3040 handset and
interfaces with paging systems, Nurse Call, alarm monitoring and LAN/e-mail
systems.
• An upgrade path exists for users to grow from the dect-z 500 to the KIRK
dect-z System 1500, which has capacity for up to 128 cordless users and 32 base
stations. Handsets may be retained, ensuring upgrade costs are minimised.
