The ascom IP-DECT system is a reliable wireless communication solution that combines Voice over IP (VoIP)
with Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telephony (DECT) technology. It offers enterprise-grade telephony over
secure dedicated frequency bands.
•IP (Internet Protocol) - universal standard for inter-networking that maximizes scalability and
interoperability.
•DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephony) - secure radio communication standard that delivers
superior voice quality over reserved radio frequency bands.
The IP-DECT system allows 2-way voice communications with residents via the Advent XT2 warden call
system and between staff, both internally and externally if required.
When the Advent XT2 is operating in onsite mode all alarm calls are reported via the IP-DECT system.
When the phone rings the caller will be identified on the display (provided the phone book memory is
programmed), when answered a voice message will announce the call type and channel ID before a speech
link is opened.
The size/complexity of the building will determine the number of IP-DECT Access Points needed to achieve
site-wide radio coverage. The exact quantity and positioning of the IP-DECT Access Points will be
determined by a site survey prior to commencing the installation.
All IP-DECT Access Points are star-wired from a central PoE Ethernet Switch on Cat5e cable (max length 100
metres). The model of PoE Switch will be determined by the number of IP-DECT Access Points fitted.
The Matrix NENX IP50 PBX allows up to 50 IP-DECT handsets to integrate with the Advent XT2 warden call
system, it also allows phone-phone calling and access to an outside line to make/receive external calls.
The IP-PBX comes pre-configured so all incoming CO lines ring all SLT analogue and all IP extensions.
If required, day/night groups can be set so different handsets can be alerted depending on the time of day.
Alternatively, the handsets can be configured into zones, so alerts are only notified to the staff responsible
for specific areas.
There are 2 types of IP-DECT handset available; the standard d43 model and a higher spec d63 model.
These can be mixed on the same installation up to a maximum of 50 handsets per site.
In the event of a mains power failure a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) will maintain operation of the
complete IP-DECT system. The length of time the IP-DECT system will remain operational depends on the
number of IP-DECT Access Points connected and the volume of traffic. If the UPS shuts down all onsite calls
will be reported to the fixed desk telephone connected to SLT1 on the Matrix IP-PBX.
