In today’s fast-paced business environment, seamless communication and mobility are essential. Organizations need phone systems that not only provide crystal-clear audio but also enable employees to move freely without losing connection. Yealink DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) phones have become a preferred choice for many businesses because they combine mobility, flexibility, and advanced communication features in one package.
What is a DECT phone?
DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) phones are wireless phones that link up to a base system which means you have the freedom to walk around with the device and not be restricted by wires like you would be on a corded phone.
How does a DECT phone work?
To understand how DECT phones work, it’s a good idea to make yourself familiar with its two components. The two components are a base station, also called the fixed part, and at least one handset, or portable part.
The base station forms the bridge between the telephone and Internet connection and the handsets. This can be in the form of a simple DECT base station with or without an answering machine or a DSL router with DECT function. It is also possible to connect several base stations to form a network. Organizations often use this for telephone coverage in larger areas, and single and multi-cell systems enable a smooth transition.
The handset is the counterpart to the base station. The handset is usually cordless and connects to the base station. However, this mobile part may also be in the form of a headset or mobile phone.
To communicate, the base station sends a “beacon signal” which indicates the proximity of a device and provides it with the required information to perform a task. This beacon signal is then received by a handset within the vicinity which is when the phone ultimately rings.
Key Features of DECT phones
- Range and Mobility: DECT phones offer extended ranges indoors, usually up to 100 meters (328 feet) from the base station and sometimes even more outdoors, depending on the environment. This allows users to move freely around their property while maintaining a strong connection.
- Security: DECT includes advanced security features to protect against eavesdropping and unauthorized access. It uses encryption to secure conversations between the handset and the base station.
- Multiple Handsets: A single DECT base station can support multiple handsets, allowing several users to have their own extensions without requiring extra physical lines.
- Digital Technology: DECT operates on a specific frequency band, typically around 1.9 GHz, ensuring clear sound quality and minimizing interference from other devices or networks.
- Additional Features: DECT phones often come equipped with features similar to those found in corded or VoIP phones, such as Caller ID, call waiting, conference calling, intercom functions, and even answering machines.
