 Wall mounting KIRK DECT Base Station

Ceiling mounting : Ceiling mounted base stations make it easier to provide a solution which will deliver the required coverage in open plan offices or in factory or warehouse spaces.  A ceiling mounted base station can often be placed in the centre of an open plan office, factory or warehouse space instead of using multiple wall mounting base stations on the perimeter walls.
