What is COR DECT Technologies?

It is such a technology that can connect villages through wireless systems that were cost- effective. This technology is being developed by a team lead by Ashok Jhunjhunwala of the Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai.

The COR DECT technology that has been developed indigenously provides the last mile wireless connection between the telephone exchange and consumer. The Correct wireless in local loop (WLL) technology has been chosen to connect more than 5 lakh consumers spread across the country by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited.

With this development the dream of Mr. Ashok Jhunjhunwala is coming true who envisaged to provide telecom network to rural villages and smaller towns. In 2001, the Department of Telecommunication opted for this technology to network 24 cities. This COR DECT Technology provides 70 kilo bits per second commectivity speed. But this drops to 35 kbps when internet and phone are used simultaneously.

However, small towns have speed anywhere between 14.4 – 19.6 kbps and rural areas have pitiable speed of 4.8-9.6 kbps. Cor DECT technologies also provide constant speed while serving net and phone. This is because dedicated pipelines are provided to each customer that is net shared with other subscribers.

The uses of multiply smaller cell sites enable a wise utilization of bandwidth also. This technology also does not require frequency planning; it is designed in such ways that allow multiple operators to use the same spectrum in the same area without having to coordinate on spectrum division.
