Dect Cordless Phone System
Long range Cordless Home Phone?
I used to have a 900mhz phone that had a range of several hundred feet. Now that it has dies though I have not been able to find another system that works any where near as well as my old one. I have tried two systems that work on 5.8ghz from Uniden and Pansonic but both have horrible range. I am considering tiring the new DECT 1.9ghz phones but i am not sure that will work any better for me. Whatever I get needs to be able to be purchased and possibly returned locally in the Charolote North Carolina area.
In particular any recommendations for specific phones?
In general, you can expect better clarity as you move from 46-49 MHz models (which are overcrowded with baby monitors and walkie-talkies) to 900 MHz models (which most homes use for cordless phones) to 2.4 GHz models. The primary benefit of 5.8 GHz models is the avoidance of interference with 802.11b wLANs and microwaves. If interference is your primary concern, make sure you purchase a fully 5.8 Ghz Phone.2 Otherwise, a dual transmission phone will give you better battery life.
As for range, here are some average maximum distances for the different technologies. Keep in mind that these numbers are very subjective and depend on factors such as obstructions, frequency interference, transmission technology, and even weather. The higher figure listed assumes ideal conditions are present.
46-49 MHz – 40 to 250 feet
900 MHz – 75 to 400 feet
900 MHz w/spread spectrum – 200 to 1500 feet
2.4 GHz w/spread spectrum – 300 to 2000 feet
5.8 GHz w/spread spectrum – 300 to 2000 feet
In addition to their other advantages, the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands are above the range that most scanners can intercept, making it much more difficult for eavesdroppers to listen to your conversations.
