About DECT
DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications.
DECT is the standard for short-range cordless communications developed by the European Tele-
communications Standards Institute (ETSI): ETSI EN 300 175-1.
DECT is used in all countries in Europe and in most of Asia, Australia, South-America and North
America.
DECT is a low power technology and can be used in radio sensitive environments. Both handsets
and base stations have an average power output of 10mW, but can deliver a burst power output of
250mW.
Note:
The entire Spectralink 7000 Portfolio is built on DECT technology.
DECT Frequency Bands
The following frequency bands are dedicated to DECT:
lEMEA, Australia & New Zealand: 1G8: 1880 – 1900 MHz
lSouth America: 1G9: 1910 – 1930 MHz
lUSA & Canada: 1G9: 1920 – 1930 MHz (DECT 6.0)
Note:
Because DECT has its own dedicated frequency band, it is not subject to interference
from other radio transmitters such as GSM phones, Bluetooth, microwave ovens and
widely used Wi-Fi equipment.

The Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 controls the wireless infrastructure. It manages Spectralink
DECTMedia Resources, Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations and the IP interface to the call hand-
ler.
The communication protocol between the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 and the call handler is
a SIP line interface.
A Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 is installed directly on the LAN and must be managed as part of
the corporate network.
The Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 is a multi cell solution in a 19” cabinet. It is shipped from the
factory as an Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 with one Ethernet port and 32 on-board speech
channels, which allows for up to 32 full duplex simultaneous media streams (RTP streams) depend-
ing on the codec being used. There is no radio part in the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500. This

means that at least one Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station must be part of the Spectralink IP-DECT
Server 6500 solution.
Note:
The Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 is extremely scalable and is very easy to scale in
order to meet customer demands. If it is upgraded to its full potential via licenses, it sup-
ports up to 4096 registered handsets and with a maximum of 32 Spectralink
DECTMedia Resources, it supports up to 1024 simultaneous calls.
Up to 1024 Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations can connect with the Spectralink IP-
DECT Server 6500, but requires multicast to be enabled on the network. For more
information, see "Licenses for Spectralink IP-DECT Server 400/6500" on page29.

Other Solution Component
In addition to the Spectralink IP-DECT Server, a Spectralink IP-DECT Server configuration can
include a number of the following components:
lSpectralink DECTMedia Resources (only Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500)
lSpectralink IP-DECT Base Stations
lSpectralink DECT Repeaters
To handle the calls in the solution a call handler (IP-PBX SIP) is used.
Note:
For more information about system compatibility, see "Product Compatibility" on
page179.
For configuration overview, see "Total Configuration Overview" on page22.
Description - Spectralink DECTMedia Resource
The Spectralink DECTMedia Resource is a print board that is placed within the same rack next to
the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 board. Up to 2 Spectralink DECTMedia Resources can be
placed in the same rack that houses the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 board.
The Spectralink DECTMedia Resource performs media conversion between the call handler and
the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 and is the media termination point for incoming and outgoing
calls. Each Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500 contains one built in media resource. The Spectralink
IP-DECT Server 6500 can support a total of 32 Spectralink DECTMedia Resources.
Each Spectralink DECTMedia Resource adds 32 voice channels. The maximum number of sim-
ultaneous calls for a fully loaded system is 1024 calls at the same time. Depending on SRTP settings
and codec choise, the number of voice channels per Media Resource card can vary from 12 - 32.
G.726 allows for 32 duplex speech channels as this codec requires no processing and is routed dir-
ectly to the Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station. Other codecs such as G.711 or G.729 must be con-
verted to G.726 before routed further on to the Spectralink IP-DECT Base Station and this affects
the total number of available speech channels on the Spectralink DECTMedia Resource.
The Spectralink DECTMedia Resource connects directly with the LAN and must operate in con-
junction with the Spectralink IP-DECT Server 6500. If using clusters, the Spectralink DECTMedia
Resources can be placed at different locations.

Description - Spectralink DECT Repeater
The Spectralink DECT Repeater is a building block to be used to extend the coverage area in a wire-
less Spectralink DECT solution. The repeater does not increase the number of traffic channels, how-
ever it provides a larger physical spreading of the traffic channels and thereby increases the
coverage area established with the Spectralink IP-DECT Base Stations.
The repeaters are mainly used in areas with limited traffic. The Spectralink DECT Repeater is avail-
able with either 2 or 4 voice channels. It is wireless and does not need physical connection to the
Spectralink IP-DECT Server, making it very easy to install. The repeaters can be supplied with an
external antenna making it possible to create radio coverage in a remote area without cabling to the
rest of the installation.
The base station can support up to 3 repeaters.
