Applications

DECT is the only standard that supports a whole range of applications, from single-cell domestic cordless phones through multi-cell cordless PBX systems and Wireless Local Loop systems for fixed users. It is equally suited for data and voice services in all environments, be it for a single line with one cordless phone, or for a large-scale system with several thousand users on various sites.

DECT At Home

A single-cell DECT cordless phone gives users much better speech quality, functionality and security than could be obtained with previous generations of cordless phones. It also provides free-of-charge in-house communications between affiliated cordless handsets.

DECT In The Office

A multi-cell DECT cordless PBX system can form a seamless mobile communications environment serving just a few up to several thousand users on one or more sites. The DECT digital radio technology permits very high densities of users to be served, in a secure and robust way and to profit by both voice and data services with a single infrastructure.

DECT In The Wireless Local Loop (WLL)

DECT technology provides a rapidly available, low-cost, high-quality radio alternative to wired subscriber local loops, to bring public network voice and data services to subscribers. It enables quick network deployment, coverage to be built up as needed, and can be used as a replacement for the wireline, thereby reducing the initial capital investment for the operator.

DECT And Data

Data applications are becoming more and more important in all areas mentioned so far. Low data rate applications such as barcode readers can as well be served as advanced application like Internet access. Today, DECT products provide data links with up to 552 kbit/s. New modulation schemes will repidly allow the rate to grow up to 2 Mbit/s

DECT And Migration To Integrated Services

The DECT standard has access and interworking profiles that permit the standard to be used in integrated communication solutions. DECT and GSM networks, for example, can combine with the complementary strengths of both standards, to give users full obility with integrated dual-mode handsets.
