DECT ULE: The radio standard simply explained
DECT ULE is a radio standard that makes wireless telecommunications more diverse. We explain exactly what it is and what you can use it for.
This is DECT ULE
DECT ULE is a special form of the DECT standards for wireless communication. These have been around since 1993.
- DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications.
- It is a radio standard that makes it possible to exchange data wirelessly. This makes it possible, for example, to make calls via the cordless fixed connection.
- DECT ULE is a substandard of this technique. ULE stands for ultra low energy, which means that the advantage is already there. Because despite a high data transfer, the standard consumes very little energy.
- This makes DECT ULE particularly suitable for battery-operated devices, but also for smart sockets.
Advantages of DECT ULE
The radio standard is used in various smart home devices, such as repeaters and powerlines, since DECT ULE offers various advantages:
- Since a frequency band is reserved for DECT ULE alone, the radio technology does not interfere with Bluetooth and WiFi devices.
- The data transfer also has the advantage that it takes place independently of the WLAN. In the event of an internet failure, for example, the smart home devices that are controlled via DECT ULE still work.
- DECT ULE is also a very secure data transfer. The protocols are encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
- The HAN-FUN protocol plays an important role here: The "Home Area Network Functional Protocol" ensures that the various components and devices in the network can communicate with the DECT base. Smart home devices such as motion detectors can then be operated using this.
