5 Ways That DECT Will Revolutionize Your VoIP Solution

Communication, over the ages, has consistently and constantly evolved. Petroglyphs to pictograms, carrier pigeons to lightbeam photophones…. Ok maybe I’m getting off target here a bit, but the reality of it is that everyday communication, more specifically telecommunication, is changing at a rapid pace.

With today’s modern communication forms, such as wireless, Bluetooth, wifi and the like, we have the amazing ability to utilize a constant stream of information. When dealing with a Voice over IP solution, a method of constantly steaming verbal information is via a wireless technology known as DECT. DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication) is a common commodity for businesses of all shapes and sizes; mostly seen in warehouse environments and/or businesses that require workers to constantly be on their feet and portable. It’s not a new technology. Since the 1980’s DECT has been a huge asset to businesses on a global scale.

So you’re probably asking yourself, “If it’s been around that long, isn’t it outdated?” – to which my response would be – absolutely not. If anything, the DECT world is growing and constantly inventing new technologies and capabilities that allow for it to expand it’s classic communication reach. DECT is no longer just a simple handset device with limited range – it has evolved into something so much greater!

Recently in 2015, Panasonic, a company that has been a part of the media and communications market for decades, decided to revolutionize the way that that the VoIP Industry does DECT. More specifically, they feature 5 key new features that will revolutionize the way we communicate with DECT technology:

200 Hours of Standby Time – Yep. You read it. Panasonic has upgraded their DECT solution to be available for up to 200 hours of standby time on one charge. Not only will this allow you to have a constantly portable DECT solution, but it will require less charge time and more availability from your device.

Desk Phone DECT Solution – What? DECT isn’t just a handset anymore? You got it. Panasonic’s new KX-TPA65 is an actual desk phone.  Say goodbye to no longer being able to have a remote office environment. The KX-TPA65 is a robust desk phone that offers all of the best features of DECT and Desk VoIP hardware, such as easy, no-WAN installation, HD Audio, and a full-duplex speakerphone.

Up to 8 Devices Per Base Station – Each Panasonic DECT device delivers consistent audio quality even when there are eight devices being utilized on one base station. This includes the Desk DECT Phone as well! Any Panasonic DECT solution can also accommodate up to eight different phone numbers and calls at a time.

11 Hours of Talk Time – Tired of your DECT device not being able to last throughout your long work day? Panasonic has reversed this problem and offers up to 11 hours of talk time per DECT device.

Noise Reduction Technology – With the press of a button, you can reduce any unwanted noise while you’re using your Panasonic DECT product. Panasonic’s TGP-600 system will automatically adjust receiver volume to a level that is easy to hear and understand. How cool is that?

As you can see, DECT isn’t just old-fashioned “DECT” anymore. Every day companies are continuing to change the way that we communicate with one another. Take advantage of these new changes in technology, or else you may miss out on the most efficient and effective communication possibilities for your business.
