DECT PROFILE
GSM Interworking Profile (DECT)
interworking
<standard> Systems or components, possibly from different
origins, working together to perform some task. Interworking
depends crucially on standards to define the interfaces
between the components. The term implies that there is some
difference between the components which, in the absence of
common standards, would make it unlikely that they could be
used together. For example, software from different
companies, running on different hardware and {operating
systems} can interwork via standard network protocols.

Interworking
·noun The act of working in together; interweaving.
GSM Interworking Profile
The GSM Interworking Profile, usually abbreviated to GIP and sometimes to IWP, is a profile for DECT that allows a DECT base station to form part of a GSM network, given suitable handsets. While proposed and tested, notably in Switzerland in 1995, the system has never been commercially deployed.

GSM Interworking Profile
The GSM Interworking Profile, usually abbreviated to GIP and sometimes to IWP, is a profile for DECT that allows a DECT base station to form part of a GSM network, given suitable handsets. While proposed and tested, notably in Switzerland in 1995, the system has never been commercially deployed. Infrastructure issues make it less practical and useful to implement than the more recent GAN/UMA system, which can make use of usually unmetered and neutral Internet service to provide the connection back to the network operator.
