Revisions and Amendments in Standards [Standards]

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) published the first technical specification (TS 102 939-1) on digital-enhanced cordless telecommunications (DECT) ultralow energy (ULE), a low power consumption radio technology intended for home automation and other machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. DECT ULE is based on the very popular and highly successful DECT standard, which was developed by ETSI. The main characteristics of DECT ULE are ultralow power consumption, good quality of service (a unique feature of ULE compared with other low-power wireless standards), and a wider coverage area than competing technologies.
