DECT (an acronym for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) is a new standard of communication protocol and frequency (1920 MHz–1930 MHz, commonly referred to as 1.9 GHz) that was approved by the FCC in 2005 for use in the United States for Unlicensed Personal Communications Services (UPCS). The DECT 6.0 standard has been used in all countries in Europe for years (first introduced in 1992 by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute) and is popular because it provides superior sound quality and outstanding range. DECT 6.0 technology is available today for cordless phones and cordless headsets. Despite common confusion, 6.0 refers to the version number of DECT and not a spectrum band, 6 GHZ.  DECT 6.0 has become broadly accepted technology for cordless telephony and is rapidly taking over the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz technologies.

What are some key reasons to choose DECT 6.0 for your next cordless phone purchase?

• Outstanding range. The range of DECT 6.0 cordless phones is approximately 2 to 3 times that of 5.8GHz phones and 20-25% better than 2.4 GHz phones.
• Excellent sound quality. There is no sacrifice to sound quality as conversations are crystal clear and sound great.
• No interference, static-free reception. We have personally tested DECT 6.0 cordless phones around wireless networks, microwaves, fluorescent lights, Coke machines, as well as other phones (2.4 GHz and 5.8GHz) and have found them to be completely free of static and interference.
• Improved security. The DECT 6.0 encryption layer prevents ease droppers from easily tapping into your conversations.
• Extended battery life. DECT 6.0 phones are inherently more efficient and provide approximately 30% better battery life than 5.8 GHz or 2.4 GHz phones. This means a talk time of 12 -16 hours between charges.
