A Cordless telephone communicates with a base station connected to a fixed telephone landline. Cordless phones operate typically less than 300 feet from the base station, such as in and around the house. A Wireless telephone (cell phone) is a hand-held two-way radio with built-in antennas. The phone transmits radio waves to a receiver at a nearby base station (cell tower). The base station then sends your call through the telephone network until it reaches the person you are calling. A DECT telephone system enables a single base station to support multiple handsets. Additional handsets usually have a battery charger station, no need for additional telephone sockets nor additional transceivers. A DECT telephone bridges the once distinct line between cordless and wireless telephones by supporting cell handover between cordless and wireless base stations. |
