Coverage point and bill of materials

How many antennas and repeater units a coverage area needs, and an indicative bill of materials to send with a quote request.

Area to cover m² Antenna coverage radius m Spacing factor k 0.6-0.85

Antenna ports per point Average feeder run per point m Host configuration

Coverage scheme 2x2 MIMO required

Spacing factor k: 0.6-0.75 for indoor, 0.7-0.85 for outdoor. Lower means more overlap between neighbouring antennas and a higher edge level, at the cost of more units. Area per point is taken as the square of the spacing (equivalent cell area on a square layout). This is a first-pass estimate for quote preparation.

Next step

Send the radius and power class back into the link budget to check the coverage and uplink balance against those quantities.
