Why we do it:
Purpose of the work:
The purpose of the work
is to complete the Technical Specification for ‘New Generation DECT phase 1’ as
well as the related update of the DECT base standard until February 2007. This
will be the basic building block for further phases of ‘New Generation DECT’.
Relation with the ETSI strategic objectives:
DECT is one of the very successful ETSI standards. DECT is the world wide
leading digital cordless technology and has been approved by ITU as IMT-2000
air-interface. DECT is selling in large and growing volumes.
In April 2006 the DECT Forum chairman presented at the DECT06 conference in
Sophia Antipolis the DECT Forum’s view on the market value development (see
figure below).
It can be concluded, that NG DECT is essential to further increase
the overall DECT market.
Benefits to be gained
The DECT manufacturers including the chip manufacturers have come to the
conclusion, that the market requires a new generation of DECT products. The DECT
Forum has approached TC DECT to develop the specification for next generation
DECT products, based on the market requirements as provided by DECT Forum. They
also stressed the urgency of the work and therefore we agreed to develop the
specification in phases and selected the features to be realized in phase 1,
which should be completed this year. The new generation DECT will not only
further increase the quantity of products, but also the value of the DECT
products.
Time plan for the work:
Beginning of September 2006
Duration: 6 months
Conclusion of work: end February 2007
