[Asterisk-Users] Would DECT cordless phones work with Asterisk and VOIP?

[Larry Alkoff]

I've just heard about DECT which is used for about 50 million phones in 
Europe and is just starting to appear in the US.

DECT stands for Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telephone
and supposedly has much greater range than other cordless telephony.
Additionally, you can purchase repeaters that will greatly range.

Since reading about poor audio quality and echo issues caused by 
repeated conversions as the signal traverses the path from the (possibly 
POTS analogue) station, over tcp/ip and to destination,
would DECT (another digital form) agravate this?

In my house, a Uniden 5.8 and Panasonic 2.4 cordless system would only 
work over about 35 feet indoors - not enough for a large house.

Does anyone have any hands-on experience with DECT?
