European digital mobile telephony. DECT covers wireless PBXs, telepoint, 
residential cordless telephones, wireless access to the public switched telephone 
network, Closed User Groups (CUGs), Local Area Networks, and wireless local 
loop. The DECT Common Interface radio standard is a multicarrier time division 
multiple access, time division duplex (MC-TDMA-TDD) radio transmission 
technique using ten radio frequency channels from 1880 to 1930 MHz, each 
divided into 24 time slots of 10ms, and twelve full-duplex accesses per carrier, for 
a total of 120 possible combinations. A DECT base station (an RFP, Radio Fixed 
Part) can transmit all 12 possible accesses (time slots) simultaneously by using 
different frequencies or using only one frequency. All signaling information is 
transmitted from the RFP within a multiframe (16 frames). Voice signals are 
digitally encoded into a 32 kbit/s signal using Adaptive Differential Pulse Code 
Modulation.
