What Does DECT Mean?

DECT is an acronym that stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. This means that whichever device this acronym is attached to, uses a digital encryption code, rather than analogue radio signals to communicate between the cordless phone and the base unit, providing greater clarity and security than the older, analogue-based cordless phones.
