DECT ULE: Wireless Home Control and Sensor Applications

• DECT ULE provides short-range wireless network connectivity using globally standardized DECT voice and data communications technology as the basis for new alarm, sensing and security applications in the digital home.  In brief, DECT handsets and base stations can serve as information display and control devices for a wide range of connected devices in a typical home.

• CCT Tech International Ltd., a leading manufacturer of telecommunications products for homes, will showcase a range of prototype home control solutions, including:
  • A DECT ULE capable handset supporting voice calls, device control applications and meter reading capability.
  • Devices with DECT ULE connectivity – controllable by the handset – such as motion sensors, fire alarms and 'smart' electric plugs.  
  • DECT base station that can be programmed to respond to sensor inputs (i.e., automated calling to emergency services.

• The demonstration system is powered by the Lantiq COSIC™ ULC, which combines baseband processor, RF transceiver and power amplifier on a very small footprint single-chip solution.  For production systems, DECT ULE end-point devices require a low-power consumption profile capable of battery-powered operation for up to 10 years.
