Cordless telephony

Today the cordless telephone market has effectively standardised around digital enhanced cordless telephone (DECT) technology. A mature standard for medium-range radio, DECT is widespread across Europe, Latin America, Asia, Korea, and Russia. A derivative standard called DECT 6.0 was recently launched in the USA and is now the fastest growing cordless phone segment in North America.

To develop digital cordless telephones and other cordless applications, we offer our customers ICs and software source code which cover virtually all digital cordless frequencies and standards in the world.

                                            

Region/ Country	Frequency	Standard
Europe & Russia	1.9 GHz	DECT
Japan & China	2.4 GHz	IMS
Korea	1.7 GHz	KDECT
USA	1.9 GHz	DECT 6.0
	2.4 GHz	IMS
	5.8 GHz	IMS

Our CMOS-based platform helps telephone manufacturers offer a complete portfolio of cordless phones. Benefits of our on-chip architecture include flexibility and multi-functional capability. It can be easily updated to meet the latest market requirements and protocol standards.

DECT value

Interoperability and a dedicated voice band really help to grow the overall market by increasing the value of DECT phones to households and businesses. Given the long standby and talk times, as well as the call quality benefits noted earlier, it is clear why cordless phones are still in wide use despite the universal presence of mobile phones.
