Hi, I'm told that DECT takes 10 minutes after power-up, before an incoming call can be detected !! DECT has been used in rural areas in 'developing' countries, where solar-charges have been used for power. Apparently when the 'base station' is 15 Km removed, the subscriber needs to transmit continually 250mW power. Which means about 500mW continual standby power ! My suggestion to use a 5% duty cycle to check for incoming call detection, each say 2 seconds, was re-buffed on the basis that 'boot up' takes 10 minutes. If so, what accounts for this massive delay ? Thanks for any info. == Chris Glur.
