Recommendations for DECT Base Station

FishyJ — Sun, 25 Feb 2024 14:34:46 GMT

It appears my access to this forum has been limited as I don't appear to have the option to create new posts. Only reply....

I was going to ask if anyone has recommendations for DECT base station & handsets. I'm aware of Gigaset & Yealink but....

1) Gigaset loks great, but they apear to be in financial difficulty, so might be a bad choice. ( https://www.gigaset.com/hq_en/cms/news-detail-ag/news/detail/News/gigaset-files-for-insolvency-proceedings-continuation-of-operations-under-self-administration.html )

2) & Yealink is a China based product and it would be easy to image it would be under heavy influence of the Chinese State / Government. I'm not happy to have their kit on my network. I realise China makes most things these days including electronics & chips, but this would be the whole deal, not just components.

Does anyone have views on the above or any other recommendations for companies ?

I'm using Gigaset kit, bought second-hand at very good prices.

I'm getting rid of some older DECT kit that is still serviceable and has worked for years, I've no idea if the manufacturers are still in business let alone support it!

Unless it's for a business and you need support, why worry?

Grandstream have a range of voip DECT base units and handsets https://www.grandstream.com/products/ip-voice-telephony/dect-cordless. I'm not sure the base units are GAP compatible though, so may be limited to working with Grandstream handsets.

There's also the Fritzbox routers which have an integral DECT base unit.
