DECT or Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications is a wireless standard used for home or office phones that allows users to make and receive phone calls without the handset physically connected to the phone or base station.

This allows users’ cordless DECT phones to roam and connect between the multiple base stations without dropping losing a call.
