White Paper: Technical Guide | Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications and Wireless Intercoms With Clear Com
Story Highlights
The past few decades have shown a significant increase in the use of wireless devices, especially in the world of personal devices like cell phones, tablets, and laptops. With this transformation has come additional scrutiny and policing by government agencies around the world. This paper will examine Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) wireless technology as applied specifically to the design and use of a wireless intercom system and legal policies and procedures for allowed changes to the configuration of the equipment in the United States.
DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. It’s a secure wireless technology originally developed as a means for a portable phone to access a fixed telephone network via radio. DECT was developed by The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The original abilities of a domestic DECT Generic Access Profile (GAP) system include multiple handsets to one base station and one phone line socket. This allows several cordless telephones to be placed around the house, all operating from the same telephone jack. Handsets can in many cases be used as intercoms, communicating between each other or the base unit, and sometimes as walkie-talkies, intercommunicating without telephone line connection.
