Wireless Telephony / DECT
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) is a digital wireless telephone technology for cordless phones.
The DECT standard has been designed to create a high capacity cellular structured network access with network wide mobility. It's reliable, robust and secure thanks to radio technology. Speech transmission is of a very high quality compared to wired telephony services and is also very cost efficient to implement.
DECT allows the implementation of a wide variety of terminals and wireless users with authorised access to the network can make and receive calls at any location covered by the DECT infrastructure, enabling them to move around in this area even when in active communication. When the radio channel is interfered, the seamless handover capability of DECT assures an unnoticeable switch to another non-interfered radio channel.
Cordless telephony is now also available supporting the 802.11b Wireless LAN (WLAN) standard. This technology proves useful where WLAN's already exist or wireless connectivity is required for both voice and data.
