Cordless phones in the US are about to get a major boost from DECT technology, just approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC has granted DECT-based wireless telephony permission to operate in the 1920-1930 MHz band, as part of a "general reorganization of frequency bands in the US," the DECT Forum said.
DECT ("Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications") wireless technology is suitable for voice, multimedia, and data networking traffic, including Internet access, and integrates well with other fixed and wireless services such as ISDN and GSM, according to the DECT Forum. DECT also boasts a claimed range of up to a few hundred meters, encryption to ensure a high degree of call security, and "optimized" radio transmission that maximizes handheld device battery life.
Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din Oh to laugh alaud, Dancing as we fought the crowd
