Using dedicated base stations and cordless DECT handsets, an IP DECT system creates a private communication network that keeps employees connected wherever they are working. ANT Telecom supply, install and maintain IP DECT systems for organisations that rely on dependable on-site communication, including healthcare facilities, secure environments, manufacturing plants, retail and large commercial sites. Unlike mobile phones, DECT systems operate on its own dedicated infrastructure, providing consistent voice quality, seamless roaming across the site and reliable delivery of emergency alerts and alarms. ## Integrated Solution An IP DECT system combines cordless handsets, base stations and management software to create a reliable wireless communication network across a site. Together, these components provide seamless voice communication, messaging and alarm notifications, ensuring staff remain connected wherever they are working. IP DECT systems can also be integrated with other technologies already in use within a building. Systems such as nurse call platforms, fire alarms, building management systems and equipment monitoring systems can send alerts directly to DECT handsets. As a system integrator, we can bring these systems together, so important notifications can be delivered to the right people immediately, helping you improve response times, streamline operations and support staff safety. ## DECT Phones DECT phones enable staff to communicate instantly while moving around a site. We provide a wide range of professional DECT handsets from leading manufacturers including Ascom and Funktel, designed for demanding environments such as healthcare, manufacturing and secure facilities. • Rugged handsets for industrial environments• ATEX-certified DECT phones for hazardous areas• Lone worker phones with SOS buttons and man-down sensors These devices allow staff to make and receive calls, send messages and trigger alarms anywhere within the IP DECT network. ## IP DECT Access Point IP DECT base stations (access points) provide the wireless coverage that allows DECT handsets to communicate across the site. Each base station connects to the organisation’s IP network and works together with other base stations to create a multi-cell IP DECT system. As users move around the building, calls are handed over seamlessly between base stations without interruption. By installing multiple access points, an IP DECT system can provide reliable coverage across: • Hospitals and healthcare facilities• Large warehouses and manufacturing plants• Secure sites and campuses• Office buildings and hotels ## Critical Alarm Management One of the key advantages of an IP DECT system is its ability to integrate with other critical systems across your site. Alarms from sources such as: • DECT Lone worker handsets• Fire alarm systems• Building management systems• Critical machinery can be automatically routed to staff on their DECT handsets within seconds. This ensures the right people are alerted immediately, helping organisations respond faster to incidents, equipment failures or staff emergencies.
