The performance of DECT in the outdoor 1.8 GHZ radio channel

The authors looks at the application of the DECT standard to outdoor public access systems (e.g. cordless access and telepoint) and the technical issues raised by its deployment in outdoor environments. They aim to fully characterise propagation conditions in a typical telepoint area and then to accurately predict the DECT link performance for such an environment. Conclusions are drawn as to the major factors that affect performance indicating ways to configure a public access system in order to provide the best possible performance
