Chapter 2: About DECT

DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. DECT is the standard for short-range cordless communications developed by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI): ETSI EN 300 175-1. DECT is used in all countries in Europe and in most of Asia, Australia, South America and
North America. DECT is a low power technology and can be used in radio sensitive environments. Both
handsets and base stations have an average power output of 10mW, but can deliver a burst power output of 250mW.
Note:
The entire Spectralink 7000 Portfolio is built on DECT technology.

DECT Frequency Bands

The following frequency bands are dedicated to DECT:
• EMEA, Australia & New Zealand: 1G8: 1880–1900 MHz
• South America (SAM): 1G9: 1910–1930 MHz
• USA & Canada: 1G9: 1920–1930 MHz (DECT 6.0)
Note:
Because DECT has its own dedicated frequency band, it is not subject to interference from other radio transmitters such as GSM phOne, Bluetooth, microwave ovens and widely used Wi-Fi equipment.

Spectralink DECT Media Resource

The Spectralink DECT Media Resource can be used with Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 and Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One.
The Spectralink DECT Media Resource performs media conversion between the call handler and the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500/Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One and is the media termination point for incoming and outgoing calls.
If used with Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500: The Spectralink DECT Media Resource is a print board that is placed within the same cabinet next to the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 board. Up to 2 Spectralink DECT Media Resources can be placed in the same cabinet that houses the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 board. If more media resources are needed, it is necessary to acquisition a media resource cabinet. The media resource cabinet comes with one media resource print board and the possibility of installing up to two more media resource print boards.
If used with Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One: Acquisition of a media resource cabinet is required. The media resource cabinet comes with one media resource print board and the possibility of installing up to two more media resource print boards. Each Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One contains 32 built in media channels if the Mandatory Base License ARI 150 Users 64 Base Stations 32 Media Channels | Virtual IP-DECT Server One License is installed. The Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One supports a total of 1024 media channels – up to 31 media resource print boards (11 cabinets in total).
Each Spectralink DECT Media Resource adds 32 media channels. The maximum number of simultaneous calls for a fully loaded system is 1024 calls at the same time. Depending on codec choice, the number of media channels per Media Resource card can vary from 12 -
32. G.726 allows for 32 duplex traffic channels as this codec requires no processing and is
routed directly to the Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station. Other codecs such as G.711 or G.729 must be converted to G.726 before routed further on to the Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station and this affects the total number of available media channels on the Spectralink DECT Media Resource, lowering the number of media channels down to 12 if all calls utilize the G.729 codec.
The Spectralink DECT Media Resource connects directly with the LAN and must operate in conjunction with the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500/Spectralink Virtual IP-DECT Server One. If using sites, the Spectralink DECT Media Resources can be placed at different locations.

Spectralink DECT Repeater

The Spectralink DECT Repeater is a building block to be used to extend the coverage area in a wireless Spectralink DECT solution. The repeater does not increase the number of traffic channels, however, it provides a larger physical spreading of the traffic channels and
Spectralink IP-DECT and Virtual IP-DECT Server One Configuration Guide
722-0210-000_A .docx November 2020 23
thereby increases the coverage area established with the Spectralink IP-DECT/Digital DECT Base Stations/Spectralink IP-DECT Servers 200/400.
Note:
Both the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200 and Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400 are Spectralink IP-DECT Servers with a built-in Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station.
The repeaters are mainly used in areas with limited traffic. The Spectralink DECT Repeater is available with either 2 or 4 traffic channels. It is wireless and does not need physical connection to the Spectralink IP-DECT/Virtual IP-DECT Server One, making it very easy to install. The repeaters can be supplied with an external antenna making it possible to create radio coverage in a remote area without cabling to the rest of the installation.
The base station/server 200/400 can support up to 3 repeaters.

External Antenna

Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations, Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400 and Spectralink DECT Repeaters can be equipped with an external antenna using a specially designed connection cable between the external antenna and the host.
The external antenna is highly directional and used with Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations or the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400 for added coverage in complex environments or to link up with remote areas. External antennas can also be used with Spectralink DECT Repeaters to link up with remote areas where wiring between the server and base station is difficult or impossible.
Spectralink IP-DECT and Virtual IP-DECT Server One Configuration Guide
722-0210-000_A .docx November 2020 24
Note:
When used with a Spectralink IP-DECT Server 200/400 or Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station, the external antenna always use the same channel as the host and provides full coverage for handsets.
When used with a Spectralink DECT Repeater, the external antenna always use a channel different from the host and only provides a link to the main coverage area–no speech coverage.
The range of the host (on base station and server) is reduced when the external antenna is connected.
