DECT 6.0 technology
DECT 6.0 technology
Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, or DECT 6.0 as it's known in North America, provides the best phone sound quality, security and range to date. Generally immune to interference from other domestic radio signals, 6.0 continues to operate clearly even in common high-traffic situations, such as those caused by congestion from other DECT systems, Wi-Fi networks, video senders, BLUETOOTH® technology, baby monitors, or other wireless devices. With one charge, DECT technology provides talk-time of several hours and standby time of several days. Additionally, the DECT media access control layer provides encryption services with the DECT Standard Cipher (DSC). All this means fewer plug-ins to the charger, increased privacy, and the confidence you can take a call in the basement, backyard or garage without sacrificing exceptional sound quality.
