Digital Base Stations

Last Updated : Jun 23, 2022 |

You can connect digital base stations to the DECT system using an IP DECT Gateway (see IP DECT Digital Gateway (IPBL)). These base stations are physically similar to the IPBS1 base stations, using the same casings and mounting brackets, but connect directly to an IP DECT Gateway using traditional 4-wire telephone cabling.

Digital base stations are available in variants with internal and external aerials. There is no digital variant of the Compact Base Station base station.

  • Digital Base Station with internal antennas for European Union, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Russia.

  • Digital Base Station with external antennas for European Union, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Russia.

  • Digital Base Station with internal antennas for US and Canada.

Digital base stations can be powered either direct from the IP DECT Gateway or using separate power adapters for each base station. The number of base stations that the IP DECT Gateway can power depends on the cable distance to each base station and the type of cable used. A table indicating the base station power consumption can be found under Digital Base Station Power Consumption. You can use the table to calculate whether the IP DECT Gateway can directly power the digital base stations. In cases where the IP DECT Gateway cannot directly power all the digital base stations, some of the base stations will need a separate power connection.
