Personal security with location detection over DECT
Bosch Security Systems was the first supplier to integrate personal security
features in a DECT system. The personal security feature includes the
possibility to generate manual alarms. Active security is guaranteed by checks
by the central whether the mobile is still functioning within the system. On the
other hand the PS mobile checks whether the central is performing the scan
calls. Location detection is based on base stations and low frequency beacons,
which provides a much higher accuracy. More information can be found at http://www.boschsecurity.com/emea/index.htm

DECT IP Gateway
Basestations
1999 was the year that people talked about IP over DECT - and the year that some
people also began to do something about it ! Hoeft & Wessel's new product the DataGate
HW8660 is a DECT basestation with network connectivity, allowing full TCP/IP interworking
and roaming between basestations, as with a normal voice system. Clearly the kind of
capability that such a product allows is profound - eg access to patient records in a
hospital, access to inventory status in a warehouse etc.
