Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications

<communications, standard> (DECT, formerly ".. European ..") A standard developed by the {European Telecommunication Standard Institute} from 1988, governing pan-European {digital mobile telephony}. DECT covers wireless PBXs, telepoint, residential cordless telephones, wireless access to the public switched telephone network, Closed User Groups (CUGs), Local Area Networks, and wireless local loop. DECT defines only the radio connection between two points and can be used for remote access to public and private networks. Other mobility standards, such as GSM, TACS, and {DCS 1800} add the necessary switching, signaling, and management functions that are not specified by DECT. The DECT Common Interface radio standard is a multicarrier time division multiple access, time division duplex (MC-TDMA-TDD) radio transmission technique using ten {radio frequency} channels from 1880 to 1930 MHz, each divided into 24 time slots of 10ms, and twelve full-duplex accesses per carrier, for a total of 120 possible combinations. A DECT base station (an RFP, Radio Fixed Part) can transmit all 12 possible accesses (time slots) simultaneously by using different frequencies or using only one frequency. All signaling information is transmitted from the RFP within a multiframe (16 frames). Voice signals are digitally encoded into a 32 kbit/s signal using {Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation}. The handover process is requested autonomously by the portable terminal and the Radio Fixed Parts, according to the carrier signal levels. A "Generic Access Profile" defines a minimum set of requirements for the support of speech telephony. http://italtel.it/catalog/data/inglese/capc_5.htm. (1999-04-13)

Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications

Digital European Cordless Telecommunications (Reference: telecommunication)

Digital enhanced cordless telecommunications (Digital European cordless telecommunications), usually known by the acronym DECT, is a standard primarily used for creating cordless telephone systems. It originated in Europe, where it is the common standard, replacing earlier cordless phone standards, such as 900 MHz CT1 and CT2.

Ericsson Telephones LimitedRegistered in England, company number 555391 (ETL) was a British telephone equipment manufacturer based in Beeston, Nottinghamshire.

Cordless Recordings is a netlabel owned by Warner Music Group. The label was founded in 2005 by Jac Holzman, who also founded Elektra Records and Nonesuch Records.

PTT (Postes, Télégraphes et Téléphones), divided since 1991 between France Télécom and La Poste, also known as P&T and P et T, was the French administration of postal services and telecommunications, formed in 1921.

Standard Telephones and Cables Ltd (later STC plc) was a British manufacturer of telephone, telegraph, radio, telecommunications, and related equipment. During its history, STC invented and developed several groundbreaking new technologies including pulse-code modulation (PCM) and optical fibres.
