About DECT
DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications.
DECT is the standard for short-range cordless communications developed by the European Tele-
communications Standards Institute (ETSI): ETSI EN 300 175-1.
DECT is used in all countries in Europe and in most of Asia, Australia, South-America and North
America.
DECT is a low power technology and can be used in radio sensitive environments. Both handsets
and base stations have an average power output of 10mW, but can deliver a burst power output of
250mW.
Note:
The entire Spectralink 7000 Portfolio is built on DECT technology.
