HandyTone -286 User Manual
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.
