DECT Worldwide Standard
adopted in more than 115 countries
3
DECT in Europe (1/3)
Main DECT market in Europe is in residential
cordless About 16.5 million DECT phones in
99 In some European countries DECT residential
phones exceed the 70 of the cordless market
share Business corporate applications are
also succeed More than 700 thousand terminals in
99 The 100 of cordless PABX market is based on
DECT Significant DECT WLL deployments in
Eastern Europe (Poland, Turkey,
Hungary) DECT/GSM dual applications have been
already launched in UK and other countries are
intending to follow on

DECT in Europe (2/3)
1989 CEPT Rec. T/R 22-02 assigned 1880-1900 MHz
band for DECT standard 1991 EC
Directive 287/91 makes the band mandatory for
DECT 1991 EC Directive 288/91 push development
of DECT applications (public
private) 1994 Unlicensed regime for private
applications recommended by CEPT.
Public licensing subject to national
regulations 1998 Some DECT WLL applications
using 1900-1920 Mhz band also
(Turkey) 1999 3.5 GHz WLL band opens
opportunities for DECT also (ETSI TM4
activities) 1999 ITU approved DECT as IMT-2000
radio technology, opening
opportunities for Indoor TDD 3G applications

DECT in Europe (3/3)
6
DECT in America (1/3)
Significant DECT WLL market in Latin America 500
thousand WLL lines contracted in two years In
85 of Latin American countries DECT is licensing
for Public FWA applications as a primary
basis Private applications as secondary basis in
most countries More than 700 thousand terminals
in 99 Residential DECT cordless market expected
to grow over 100 in following two years
First worldwide deployments of DECT WLL in 3.5
GHz band made in Latin America (Argentina, El
Salvador) In North America the DECT based PWT
in UPCS band is succeeding, while WDCT variant
for ISM 2,4 GHz band is also emerging as a
competitive solution
7
DECT in America (2/3)
1996 CITEL PCC-III Res. 43/96 resolves the
possible use of 1850-1990 MHz band to
provide PCS FWA applications 1997 CITEL
PCC-III Experts Group dedicated to analyze the
for coexistence between DECT and PCS
systems. First Report (PCCIII-935/97)
shows the initial feasibility. 1997 CITEL
PCC-III Rec.32/97 allow the 1910-1930 MHz band
to be used for FWA or Private applications
in TDD mode, taken care of
considerations made in Expert Group report 1998
A complimentary Report from CITEL
(PCCIII-1077/98), definitively
conclude the coexistence feasibility. Almost all
Latin American countries allocated the
1910-1930 MHz for FWA systems as
primary basis. Private for secondary use. 1999
New opportunities for DECT WLL in 3.5 GHz band.
First worldwide deployments in that
band made in Argentina and El Salvador

DECT in America (3/3)
9
DECT in Africa (1/2)
Main opportunities for DECT systems are based
on Fixed Wireless Applications. The two
worldwide largest DECT WLL operative networks are
located in Africa (South Africa Egypt) Africa
accounts for about 200 thousand WLL lines
already in commercial use Africa is a key FWA
market where DECT is the best positioned
technology WLL DECT market share in Africa is
about 70 in contract lines, and more than 85 in
installed lines Private applications
(Residential Business) also exist, however
there is no a regulatory global policy.
10
DECT in Africa (2/2)
11
DECT in Asia - Pacific (1/2)
Great opportunities for DECT systems based
on Fixed Wireless Applications. Asia includes
two of most FWA potential countries in the world
(China India) DECT Private applications
compete with the well positioned PHS technology
however it is fast growing More than 500
thousand terminals in 99 and expected growths
over 100 in next years DECT Forum and PHS MoU
reached agreement for Public and Private
technology coexistence in shared spectrum bands
(China, Thailand) Middle East is the main
pending subject for DECT
12
DECT in Asia - Pacific (2/2)

DECT Markets Services
Public Fixed Wireless Access market
Private Residential Cordless market
Private Business Wireless market
Voice
Data
ISDN
Internet
Multimedia
DECT is the unique Wireless Standard for such
quantity of markets that is able to provide such
quantity of services
THIS IS WHY DECT IS THE LEADER TECHNOLOGY IN
ALL OF ITS APPLICATION MARKETS

Fixed Wireless Applications
17
DECT successes
DPRS and DMAP standardization finished
Emerging Private applications in US market (PWT
WDCT)
GSM/DECT dual terminals offering started in UK
New frequency bands available for
FWA applications in 3.5 GHz
DECT selected as one of the five IMT-2000 radio
interfaces
18
to face up to the new challenges
Fast Internet Access (over 2 Mbps)
New Residential and Business Markets
Fixed-Mobile Convergence
New Public FWA markets
Provision of Third Generation Services
