DECT Evolution

Applications

DECT Evolution was designed for applications in Program Making and Special Events (PSME) such as wireless microphones for live performance and studio environments, for call centers and offices with high density of DECT headsets, wireless public address systems, low latency wireless games controllers and sensors for Augmented Reality (AR) and also in connected healthcare and potentially new applications areas such as industrial automation.

Technical description

DECT Evolution is part of the current DECT standard and enables manufacturers and system integrators to develop applications that can be implemented using the current DECT GFSK (or Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) interface. This “evolution path” was already foreseen in the DECT base standard and considered in the MAC and PHY layers. This improvement in the functional scope allows DECT Evolution systems to address a range of applications:

DECT Evolution already fulfills many of the key requirements mentioned in several professional audio use cases across industry segments focused on wireless audio equipment and broadcast applications.

For instance, when considering range, density, latency and system availability, process automation would profit greatly from this upgrade of the technology. With low latency and LC3plus additions to the DECT standard, significant improvements can be achieved in terms of latency and audio performance. This is especially beneficial for well-known applications in PMSE (Program Making and Special Events). Speaker systems can also be well adapted using DECT Evolution to replace cables to provide high quality wireless audio with good range.
