DECT 6.0 and VOIP December 10, 2007
Have a good look at the cordless phones on Telephones Online and you will notice that the word DECT comes up many times. DECT stands for “Digital Enhanced Cordless Technology”. DECT communications are now in their sixth generation. Unlike cordless phones on the 2.4Ghz or 5.8Ghz frequency, DECT 6.0 phones do not interfere with other wireless signals beaming throughout your home, such as Wi-Fi (802.11) networks, microwave ovens, baby monitors and wireless game controllers.
DECT 6.0 also offers clearer call quality, works far from its base (up to 50 metres indoors, 300 metres outdoors) and is digitally encrypted, assuring that noone else can listen into your calls – a more frequent occurrence on the older analog telephones.
Recent developments in cordless phones have led to the creation of hybrid DECT phones which allow thew option to communicate via VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) technology, as these calls bypass traditional PSTN’s you can therefore make free calls via your broadband Internet connection to anyone in the world via broadband telephony of VOIP. Many people use services such as Windows Live Messenger (formerly MSN Messenger), Yahoo! Messenger or Skype for their VOIP chat.
For example see the PHILIPS VOIP3211 Cordless Skype Phone, this can be plugged straight in to the ethernet port of your PC/ Mac and then you can make free Skype calls as well as normal landline calls. You can make and take calls on both networks from one single handset, and you can see who is on-line without going to the PC, just by looking at the display.
