2.2. DECT wireless standard overview
DECT is an acronym for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. DECT standard uses a

the use of the product) select the transmission frequency from the designated frequency band.
It 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 product is 100 m /
330 ft under ideal working conditions (Line of Sight). However, indoor obstacles like walls, furniture
and people may reduce the eective range.
DECT standard uses the following frequency bands:
1.880 to 1.900 GHz in Europe
1.920 to 1.930 GHz (DECT 6.0) in the United States and Canada
1.893 to 1.906 GHz (J-DECT) in Japan
Other regions in the world may use dierent spectrum allocations. Please check the actual
frequency band with your local authority.
