| DECT
(Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) and GSM
(Global System for Mobile Communication) serve different
purposes. The GSM-System is developed for public use,
but it is not able to carry sufficient traffic in hot
spots like inner cities or airports because of its large
cell structure.
DECT is able to carry
higher traffic because of its smaller cells. It has
been developed for private or telepoint use. Because
of growing traffic in the public systems and the need
for protection of investment, it will be necessary to
combine both of the existing mobile systems in the future.
The mobility management
methods of GSM are fully standardised. In contrast,
the DECT mobility management has been left open for
developers to interpret. With a focus on inter-working
units, it is obvious that the mechanism of the GSM mobility
management could be adopted for use in DECT
DECT is an international flexible digital radio access
standard for cordless telephony providing  excellent
sound-quality and superior security.
An SCG supplied DECT system offers
superior security against eavesdropping, and through
the digital technology, it offers excellent sound quality,
which means no noise and no interference. The system
provides on-site digital cordless telephony for commercial
and medical premises.
