Snom Brings VoIP DECT Phone To U.S.
German VoIP telephone maker Snom on Monday released its latest IP DECT handset in North America, joining a handful of other device makers and telecommunications companies bringing the phones based on the wireless standard to America. DECT, short for digital enhanced cordless telecommunications, has been widely used in Europe, but has yet to take firm hold stateside as an alternative to IP voice over Wi-Fi. Snom joins the ranks of others like Polycom, Nortel, Avaya and Aastra that have brought DECT-based devices to North America.
