Dect in a sentence

DECT GAP is an interoperability profile for DECT.

DECT was originally intended for use with traditional analog telephone networks, but DECT bases have higher bit-rates at their disposal than traditional analog telephone networks could provide.

Security The DECT media access control layer also provides encryption services with the DECT Standard Cipher (DSC).

The DECT and DECT 6.0 technologies are essentially identical, except for operating frequency.

The intent is that two different products from different manufacturers that both conform not only to the DECT standard, but also to the GAP profile defined within the DECT standard, are able to interoperate for basic calling.

Application The DECT standard fully specifies a means for a portable unit, such as a cordless telephone, to access a fixed telecoms network via radio.

DECT has almost universally replaced other standards in most countries where it is used, with the exception of North America.

DECT is also used in special applications, such as remote controls for industrial applications.

DECT is used primarily in home and small office systems, but is also available in many private branch exchange (PBX) systems for medium and large businesses.

DECT phones use allocated spectrum outside the ISM bands that differs in Europe and North America.

GAP-conformance enables DECT handsets and bases from different manufacturers to interoperate at the most basic level of functionality, that of making and receiving calls.

However, the timing of the availability of DECT, in the mid-1990s, was too early to find wide application for wireless data outside niche industrial applications.

If frequency-hopping is avoided, each base station can provide up to 120 channels in the DECT spectrum before frequency reuse.

Many DECT-specific changes have been made.

On the one hand, VoIP-over-WiFi has a range advantage given sufficient access-points, while a DECT phone must remain in proximity to its own base (or repeaters thereof).

Technical features Typical abilities of a domestic DECT Generic Access Profile (GAP) system includes: * Multiple handsets to one base station and one phone line socket.

The architecture presumes that such linkages will be designed into the interworking unit that connects the DECT access network to whatever mobility-enabled fixed network is involved.

The mobility management protocol includes many elements similar to the GSM protocol, but also includes elements unique to DECT.

The public access application did not succeed, since public cellular networks rapidly out-competed DECT by coupling their ubiquitous coverage with large increases in capacity and continuously falling costs.

The term DECT 6.0 is also sometimes inappropriately advertised in Australia, even though Australia uses the same allocated spectrum frequencies as Europe.
