DECT specification
The DECT Forum, the international association of the wireless home and enterprise communication industry; ETSI, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute; and the Home Gateway Initiative have completed the ETSI Technical Specification TS 102 527-3 which completes the CAT-iq 2.0 related standards that provide full interoperability between devices from different vendors, a key requirement of the network operators represented by HGI.
With this standardisation - Next Generation DECT - the integration of DECT into broadband IP-networks has been successfully concluded. This means that CAT-iq certified products can take advantage of IP connectivity to enable wideband telephony and data-driven applications in the digital cordless phone market.
The availability of this specification, together with others already published, makes it possible for vendors and system integrators to develop CAT-iq 2.0 certified products, based on the ETSI standards.
The forum has set up a certification program for CAT-iq 2.0 end products (fixed part and/or portable part) to ensure a mandatory quality level and interoperability to specific product parameters, which will provide a consistent end-user experience.
