Dect Wireless Standard Overview; Improving Wireless Signal Strength - Catchbox Plus User Manual

7. DECT wireless standard overview

DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. The DECT standard uses a
distributed Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA) algorithm to automatically and dynamically select
the transmission frequency from the designated frequency band during product use. This feature
helps to avoid potential interference with other DECT-enabled devices. However, other
DECT-enabled devices such as cordless phones or translation systems may cause interference if
used close to the Catchbox Plus system.
The wireless range of Catchbox Plus microphones is 100 m / 330 ft under ideal conditions (line of
sight). However, indoor obstacles like walls, furniture, and people may reduce the e ective range.
DECT standard frequency bands:
1880 to 1900 Hz in Europe.
1920 to 1930 Hz (DECT 6.0) in the United States and Canada.
1893 to 1906 Hz (J-DECT) in Japan.
Other regions may use di erent spectrum allocations.
Please check the actual frequency band with your local authority.

7.1 Improving wireless signal strength

To improve the performance of your Catchbox Plus system, consider the following measures:
Ensure there are no objects or walls between any Catchbox Plus microphones and
the Hub DSP Receiver.
Decrease the distance between the microphones and the Hub DSP Receiver
Keep the microphones and the Hub DSP Receiver in the same room.
