European ..") A standard developed by the European Telecommunication Standard Institute from 1988, governing pan-European digital mobile telephony. (DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) A cordless phone standard mostly used in Europe; however, DECT 6.0 is increasingly used worldwide. The first DECT standards were introduced by ETSI in 1992, and DECT phones have been used as cordless home phones as ) portfolio in the United States. Ascom has been a global leader in DECT technology and deployments in Europe for many years. Ascom will be introducing their Freeset DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) An algorithm that is widely used for data compression. Similar to Fast Fourier Transform, DCT converts data (pixels, waveforms, etc.) into sets of frequencies. The first frequencies in the set are the most meaningful; the latter, the least. 1900+ during the second quarter of 2006, which is DECT 6.0 compliant and provides interference free communications. On-site wireless systems, based on DECT technology, have had tremendous success and growth in Europe with millions of handsets already deployed. The huge volume of deployments has provided cost effective manufacturing savings that have been passed on to Ascom customers for years. Finally, North America can now benefit in the same cost savings that Europe has enjoyed. This opens up new vertical markets such as enterprise, education and retail that were typically much more cost sensitive and slower to adopt on-site wireless systems. The Ascom Freeset DCT1900+ system provides all of the features and functionality that the other Ascom systems provide today. The FCC gave their approval for the BS330 Base Station as well as the OfficeT and OfficeM handsets. The complete portfolio of DECT handsets provides customers with more choices and the ability to deploy the one that best fits the application. "We are extremely pleased with the FCC decision to approve the Ascom DECT solutions for deployment in the United States. Our customers can now benefit from the tremendous cost savings that DECT provides. This also provides our distribution partners with the world's most comprehensive portfolio of products that meet the needs of any customer regardless of size or vertical market.
