Description: This is the first major work dedicated exclusively to cordless telecommunications in Europe. It describes early digital cordless telephone products, discusses the evolution of the market for cordless telephones, and the establishment of technical standards. The introduction of Telepoint services in Europe is outlined, with perspectives from several countries. The major technical foundations of cordless telephone system design are presented: network, audio, and radio aspects. Implementation technology is also reviewed. The book includes a summary of both the CT2 CAI, Common Air Interface, standard and the new, Pan-European, Digital European Cordless Telecommunications, DECT, standard. It is intended to provide a technical foundation for the understanding of digital cordless telephone systems and of current technical standards.
