DECT – THE NEXT 20 YEARS
DECT – The Next 20 Years
Lior Blanka, CTO, DSP Group shares his thoughts on the future directions that he considers vital for the industry’s continued growth and success.
Over the past 20 years, DECT has racked up major successes, making it the number one short-range wireless telephony solution. With an install base of more than 1 billion units covering homes worldwide, DECT is poised to keep on growing.
The explosion in new communications technologies means that the DECT industry must face at least a two-fold challenge: interface seamlessly with new IoT and next generation 5G networks; continue to drive new innovative solutions to the market to meet customer demands for high availability, ease of interaction, and speed of response in an ever-changing market landscape.
Keeping DECT & ULE central to the IoT
The IoT facilitates big data transmission between devices and services that people use on a daily basis: classic Internet devices, smart devices and the cloud. IoT’s success story to date is the evolution of the smart home. To gain traction in other areas such as wearables, medical electronics, industrial automation and connected cars, IoT must overcome a major stumbling block: standardization. This includes extending interoperability among competing standards for low and medium-low data rates, bringing together a fragmented landscape to allow best use of all available technologies. As IoT moves in this direction, it must offer a platform that focuses on a standardization approach enabling products which facilitate the IoT. Issues such as enhanced processing power, range connectivity, memory, security and low power consumption will shape this platform.
DECT must weave itself into the next- generation IoT platforms to serve as one of the key hubs for a wider range of IoT verticals. High data rate, modular receive and transmit schemes, and

services and look-and-feel that attract users will be critical to its success. Next generation DECT product manufacturers must consider incorporating cutting-edge user interaction and artificial intelligence technologies, making it intuitive yet innovative by providing new ways to interact with devices, objects and machines.
Making DECT valuable to an end- to-end 5G ecosystem
As 5G is rolled out, it must enable a hyper- connected world covering both fixed and wireless access technologies. It must handle enormous traffic capacity demands in densely populated areas with low latency, while offering secure, reliable, personalized, high availability and innovative services. 5G services must cater to at least four types of heterogeneous requirements: video, environmental sensing, industrial control and broadband/burst data transfer. To achieve this, 5G must provide differentiated solutions with diverse profiles through a unified air interface.
To make itself intrinsic to this hyper-connected
initiatives, but here are some thoughts in advance of that event:
• DECT is currently based on legacy GFSK modem technology. Consideration should be given to modular and dynamic schemes such as OFDM, QPSK and BPSK to enable high and low data rate functionality dynamically with enhanced sensitivity, opening new market possibilities..
• DECT is successful in being a low-cost/readily available, high performance commodity. Future innovations must ensure that this accessibility is retained.
• Technologies that are expected to succeed in the 5G network are those that enable world-wide coverage and provide the flexibility to seamlessly co-locate with other chosen technologies, dependent upon spectrum allocation. DECT needs to be adaptable to this operational variant.
• Although DECT has enjoyed major success as part of home communication platforms, it is still not embedded in platforms for smartphones and wearables. DECT but must target them in the future.
• DECT’s strength today is short-range wireless communications. The next generation should expand this focus to Low Power HAN while meeting advanced requirements.
• Key to the successful adoption of smartphones and tablets was the developer community and an open platform approach that encompasses
third-party apps and the possibility of offering

and / Burst Data
devices should also benefit from such a growing
market by mirroring an open platform approach.
• New ways for user interaction with devices are already evolving to support voice, gestures and
various types of sensing. DECT must incorporate
support for these options.
• IoT currently uses sensors and sensing
capabilities. Their use will increase, and artificial intelligence will play a bigger role. The DECT industry must offer designs that implement these options.
DECT and its derivative technologies such as ULE have key benefits over competitive technologies in terms of range, cost, security, maturity, reliability and spectrum availability, to mention but a few. The DECT industry must consider how to enhance those underpinning advantages to differentiate itself over other wireless solutions. With this in mind, we look forward to further creative thinking at the strategy workshop, and to an innovate future for the DECT industry.
world, the DECT industry must consider how to address these diverse requirements and make best use of the existing technology. to offer: separation of signals and integration of services, localized
control with flexible link assignment, reduced signaling and latency for small traffic, connectionless service, and service-specific networks with different topologies and protocols.
Placing DECT in the driver’s seat
In addition to asserting its place in the world of IoT and 5G, , DECT must find ways to re-enforce and enhance its own value if it is to flourish over the next 20 years. The CTO Strategy workshop which will take place in Barcelona prior to DECT World will be an ideal place to share ideas for
