3 ENHANCED FEATURE OVERVIEW
A SIP-DECT system can scale from a small system of five or less DECT base stations to a larger SIP-
DECT system that may include hundreds of DECT base stations. Some of the more advanced features
target larger DECT systems. You may browse the following list of features in order to get an overview
and to decide if it’s relevant for your requirements. You find in-depth explanations in the referenced
sections.

Please note:
Be aware that the majority of the new enhanced features require the current
DECT phone firmware release. It is assumed that SIP-DECT installations are configured
to perform an automatic firmware update over the air.

3.1 DOWNLOAD OVER AIR
The Mitel 600 series DECT Phones can download and upgrade their firmware via DECT over the air.
As of SIP-DECT 6.0, the DECT base station software image (iprfp3G.dnld) contains the Mitel 600 DECT
phone software. If the DECT base station houses the OMM, the OMM uses this software to update the
DECT phones. The DECT base station OMM no longer automatically attempts to load a DECT phone
software image from a DECT base station software URL when provided via DHCP or local configuration.

software image from a DECT base station software URL when provided via DHCP or local configuration.
For specific maintenance purposes only, SIP-DECT allows configuration of a URL via the OMM Web
service or OMP to use an alternative DECT phone software image (see section 5.4.1.6). The Mitel 600
DECT phone firmware packages are delivered in the “600.dnld” file for the OMM running on a DECT base

For large installations using a Linux Server-hosted OMM, an RFP software image (iprfp3G.dnld) without
Mitel 600 DECT Phone software is available to reduce network traffic in update scenarios.

Please note:
An RFP upgrade from SIP-DECT 3.0 to 6.0 or later is not supported due to the
extended RFP software image. The 3.0 software does not accept the extended software
image.
For large installations using a Linux Server OMM, the RFP software image (iprfp3G.dnld)
without Mitel 600 DECT Phone software can be used. This software image supports a
direct RFP upgrade from SIP-DECT 3.0 to 6.1.

3.2 WIDEBAND (CAT-IQ 1.0 / MITEL HI-Q™ AUDIO TECHNOLOGY)
Together with the new RFP 35/36/37 IP and RFP 43 WLAN, the Mitel 650 DECT phone can act as a
Mitel Hi-Q audio terminal. This feature is realized using wideband speech according to CAT-iq.

Each Hi-Q connection uses twice the capacity on the DECT air interface, as compared to conventional
narrowband. Therefore, four Hi-Q connections can be established via one RFP, instead of eight
narrowband calls.
