Technical charcteristics which shall be provided by terminal equipment which is capable of connection to a public telecommunications network (1) and which uses DECT cordless communications. These requirements shall apply to DECT equipment providing any telephony application. The cordless transmission of such terminal equipment operate within the frequency band 1880-1900 MHz. It shall apply in addition to the attachment requirements for the appropriate public network; and in addition to the CTRs for DECT General attachment requirement for telephony applications. DECT comprises two equipment elements referred to as Fixed Part (FP) and Portable Part (PP). The objective of this document is to ensure the air interface interoperability of DECT equipment capable of telephony applications, in such a way that any DECT FP conforming to the procedures described in this document shall be capable of interoperability with any DECT PP conforming to the procedures described in this document. The FP and/or the PP shall conform to the requirements and tests in this document. This document is structured to allow type approval of the FP and PP as separate items. Where the DECT FP is connected to a PSTN, and where there are specific national variations in the requirements for voice telephony, these shall be accomodated within the FP so that the PP shall be common. (1) Note 1: CTR for basic rate ISDN, CTR for primary rate ISDN, or national regulations (implementing ETS 300 001) for PSTN. Inteconnection of DECT terminals to the GSM network is still under study; in due course, the scope statement may need amending to reflect this point. Note 2: It is expected that this document will be based on the radio and protocol provisions of ETS 300 175
