        DECT technology (digital enhanced cordless telecommunications) is coming to the US -- the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has granted DECT-based wireless telephony permission to use the 1920-1930 MHz band, as part of a "general reorganization of frequency bands in the US," the DECT Forum says.




        Find out all about DECT, and how it will change cordless phones, in an informative article over at DeviceForge.

        Additionally, be sure to check out DeviceForge's coverage of the the LinkSys CIT200 (pictured above), the first DECT phone available in the US. It essentially uses a PC running Skype as its base station. Neat stuff!
