DECT in Comparison DECT vs. PHS
- DECT supports all the important standards and protocols of telecommunications (ISDN, LAN, X.25, X.400, GSM, etc.).
- As a result of its compatibility to GSM and to the DCS 1800 standard, DECT has a key feature to become a world standard. DECT can bridge the gap between household cordless phones and the major cellular networks. This compatibility represents a crucial prerequisite forusage within a Wireless Local Loop.
- DECT has a more efficient channel assignment scheme. While DECT makes a seamless handover possible, interruptions of up to approximately 1.5 seconds occur with PHS.
PHS is the Japanese standard for cordless telecommunications. Although DECT and PHS in principle have the same objectives, DECT technologies hold the following advantages over PHS:
