DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication), a worldwide standard for cordless phones, gained FCC approval in April 2005.
The biggest advantage for DECT cordless phones, compared with other digital cordless phones operating in ISM bands such as the 2.4GHz band and the 5.8GHz band, is that they operate in a frequency band dedicated to DECT products, making these cordless phones truly "Wi-Fi-friendly".
For many years, RTX Telecom has served the industry as a design house for wireless products.
Now US DECT can be added to the large portfolio of technologies and products that RTX Telecom can develop for clients around the world.
The latest addition to this list of products and clients has been the wireless gamepad developed for the Microsoft Xbox360.
"The opening of the US DECT frequency band will create a lot of opportunities for new cordless products to be introduced in the US market".
"RTX Telecom is certainly ready to help customers design and develop products that fulfill both market and FCC requirements", says Jorgen Elbaek, CEO and President of RTX Telecom.
"I am very excited to see the world's first US DECT product which RTX has developed".
"I am surprised at how fast RTX has developed the phone; the standard is extremely new".
"I see the potential of the US DECT market as huge, because US DECT offers excellent audio quality, and does not conflict with US Wi-Fi systems, which is a major problem with the existing US cordless phones", says Erich Kamperschroer, Chairman of the DECT Forum.
