Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephones. The system is more or less similar 
to GSM (the mobile phone) that all the speech is transmitted digitally. 
Also you can have (similar to GSM) unnoticeable switching from one base 
station to another. Most wireless phones in Europe are DECT nowadays, 
unless you're looking for really cheap ones.
