Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications or DECT is a cordless phone standard widely used in Europe. It is based on TDMA and the 1.8 and 1.9GHz bands and uses Dynamic Channel Selection/Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCS/DCA) to enable multiple DECT users to coexist on the same frequency. DECT provides data links up to 522 Kbps with 2 Mbps expected in the future. Using dual-mode handsets, DECT is expected to coexist with GSM, which is the standard cellphone system in Europe
