About us

About the DECT Forum

The DECT Forum was founded in 1997 and is an international non-profit association of companies and organisations that works alongside the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to promote the development and adoption of the family of Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standards. ETSI is a non-profit standards organisation recognised by the European Union that develops globally applicable standards for information and communications technologies (ICT).

More about us

Dedicated Spectrum

  • Licence exempt
  • Co-existence by design
  • Universally available 

DECT ensures exceptional quality of service through dedicated spectrum access across its family of technologies – maintaining a governing framework that permits co-existence and scalability across professional Audio, Voice and IoT Segments. 

Operating in shared spectrum exclusively reserved for DECT devices minimizes interference, guaranteeing reliable, secure, and high-quality communications for consistent performance needs.

High Reliability

  • Fail safe
  • Low latency
  • Long range

DECT remains the technology of choice around the globe for mission-critical voice and messaging communication in many market segments including healthcare, emergency services, industry, retail as well as office environments. 

In the IoT space, NR+ brings even more – self-healing mesh networks, low latencies, and kilometers of range. 

DECT removes wires without compromising on reliability

Operational Continuity

  • Open standard
  • Longevity
  • System Ownership

No wireless technology has achieved global acceptance without the backing of a solid, open standard. 

The DECT family of standards has been leading the way since 1992, helping businesses minimize risk and maintain their competitive edge through continuity, robust Quality of Service and streamlined device integration.

The DECT Family of Standards

Under the umbrella of the DECT name sits a family of standards that began in the cordless telephony market but which, over the last 30 years, has evolved far beyond it. Today, in addition to being a highly-successful solution for residential and enterprise telephony, DECT encompasses advanced Internet of Things networking, smart home solutions and professional audio applications. This breadth makes it one of the most versatile wireless technologies available.

DECT has unique technical characteristics that keep it at the forefront of wireless innovation, delivering modern, forward-looking solutions that are very much ahead of the curve.
