DECT stands for "Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications" and describes nothing more than the conventional cordless telephone, which is what is found in the vast majority of offices and homes.

DECT is considered the standard for wireless telephony, and for good reason. Up to 4,096 telephones can be switched into their own network.

1. Inside buildings, the range of DECT is limited to about 50 meters. This is mainly due to thick walls and doors, which it is necessary for the signal to penetrate.
2. Outdoors, the standard even creates ranges of up to 300 meters.
3. Thanks to the modular design of the technology, several thousands of devices can be interconnected so that a complete telephone network can be established within a campus.

3. Die Übertragung von DECT dauert gerade einmal 10ms, wodurch eine Verzögerung nahezu vollkommen umgangen wird.
