DECT ULP søger nye applikationer

Nyt whitepaper beskriver fordelene ved brug af DECT ULP (Ultra Low Power) teknologi indenfor home automation samt kontrol- og sikkerhedsnetværk (in english). 

SiTel Semiconductor has released a whitepaper explaining the unique benefits that DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Technology) and its new low-power mode DECT ULP (Ultra Low Power) offer for Home Automation, Control and Security networks.

DECT ULP is an ultra-low-power operating mode based on the familiar DECT / CAT-iq (Cordless Advanced Technology-internet and quality) standards. It reduces DECT power consumption to levels low enough that a sensor node can operate autonomously for ten years.

Entitled \'Home automation, control and security: a myriad of options; one obvious choice\', the whitepaper compares the ULP version of the familiar cordless telephony standard to a number of other proposed network technologies in key requirements including range, voice capabilities, cost, power consumption and ease of integration.

Home Automation, Control and Security is an emerging home networking application area. It has different requirements to the more mature computing and accessory networks, and so far a number of wired and wireless protocols have been proposed to meet these needs. However, the emergence of a single standard for the sector is seen as a key factor in driving wide scale adoption. 

- With the CAT-iq and ULP developments, DECT exceeds the technical requirements for Home Automation, Control and Security networks. It’s the obvious choice for home networks. Moreover, with a quarter of a billion DECT phones in homes today, it’s the one people are already comfortable with, says Jos van der Loop, Product Marketing Manager, SiTel Semiconductor.
