engineer - DECT/PHS You are incorrect on a number of points: you cannot handoff from cell to cell. You can. Handoff works fine. However, it won't work if you are moving at more than 10mph or so. A penalty for using a micro cellular network - where cell widths are in the order of 100's meters You cannot get incoming calls on PHS. You can - are you are confusing PHS with the UK CT2? The essential trade off is small cell size for very small, light handsets. Having said all that PHS has tanked in Japan, after an initial strong start.

Ok, DECT is a CORDLESS SYSTEM that is making in roads into buildings as a solution for greater mobility.Lets say its a SUPER CORDLESS system and it is being marketed to hotels,hospitals,offices,shoping malls ect ect ect.The market would seem to be large or maybe on a worldwide basis very large.Would it be a viable buisness plan to go after this market that is seemingly untapped? Ericsson and Lucent have forged alliances in this area.In your technological savey do you think this market is worth investing in?
