Choosing the Best Cordless Phones



The cordless phone frequencies in most common use today are 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz and 1.9 GHz.. The latest to be made available was the 1.9 GHz frequency. Unlike other frequencies it can only be used for voice communication. Hence it's a less cluttered frequency and far less likely to be subject to interference from other wireless devices.

All DECT 6.0 phones use the 1.9 GHz cordless phone frequency, which accounts for one of their greatest strengths. They are basically immune to interference and can be relied upon to work well even in locations saturated with electronic gadgets and wireless activity.

Cordless Phone Frequencies

With few exceptions the latest cordless phones are all DECT 6.0 phones. It's true that retailers still sell new 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz phones, but don't assume that they are fresh off the production line. It's more than likely that they have been sitting in a warehouse for five or more years.

When hunting for the best cordless phones, consumers need no longer weigh up the pros and cons of different cordless phone frequencies. DECT 6.0 phones not only use the latest technology, but also the best frequency.

DECT 6.0 phones are superior to earlier generations of technology in almost every respect. Longer talk-time and stand-by time, no interference, excellent call clarity and adequate cordless phone range.

Range Extender

While the range of DECT 6.0 cordless phone is generally adequate for a cordless home phone, there is a point at which a booster or range extender will be required. Under optimum conditions a DECT 6.0 phone has a range of about 300 feet. By optimum we mean an open field with no obstacles and a clear line of sight. Within a building the range will be less depending on the number of walls, levels, building materials used ... It's impossible to be more precise without reference to specific structures.

In the case of very large homes or properties there are often dead spots where reception is either weak or non-existent. To address these situations the latest Panasonic DECT 6.0 Plus cordless phones can be fitted with range extenders. They are very effective in most homes at overcoming these issues.

900 MHz Phones

While the subject of cordless phone frequencies no longer generates much debate in the home environment, it's still a hot topic in the case of extreme long range cordless phones. Commercial cordless phone users in particular often require phones with a coverage measured in thousands of acres, hundreds of thousands of square feet and five or more levels. It's a niche that is pretty much owned by Engenius 900 MHz phones.

Summary

As a general rule consumers need no longer be concerned with the pros and cons of different cordless phone frequencies. By choosing between different 1.9 GHz DECT phones, they are almost certainly getting one of the best cordless phones to meet their requirements.
