DECT 'Interrupter"? (Constant signal stopper)

Hey everyone,

I could have sworn that some time ago I read about some kind of device
that could be attached to or installed in DECT phones, which would
stop them from radiating until they were in use, essentially disabling
their "always on" technology, so they don't emit RF 24/7.

Am I mistaken, or does such a thing exist, and if it does, how much
does it cost, and would it work with phones for the North American market?

Thanks a bunch!

Hello,

I have published that in the german issue of *het bitje* Augustus 2005.
An illustration stands on page 3.

The manufacturor stopped the development, because there were two problems.

1. It worked fine.
It stopped the current to the base station, and there was no radiation.
So far so good.
However, if you wanted to start a call, you had to go to the box and press a
button, in order to establish a connection between the phone ande the base
station.

2. For connecting the current from the box to the base station, it appeared,
that several differnet Voltages were needed, and the biggest problem was,
that there were also different plugs (round, square, etc.)

For the DECT, there are three alternatives in Europe, where they work in the
frequency band of 1880-1900 MHz, where I believe that in the USA 5.8 GHz is
used.

1. One can bay an analogue cordless phone, till the end of 2008 available.

2. There are socalled DECT Eco mode types.
They do not emit, as long as the phone stays in the craddle.
But the use of a cordless phone is, that the phone may lie soemwhere else
nearby, so the base station is emitting.

3. There is a new development, where they emit at very low emission levels
(in Switzerland), and some according to the distance to the base station, so
when farther away, the stronger the signal.

Check out the Orchid phone from Orchid electronics, does as above.

Thanks, all for your replies!

Charles, that was what I was thinking of, I believe - too bad they
couldn't seem to get past that problem.

It's not even for me, directly - I nearly always refuse to use
cordless phones - but rather, for taking with me to houses in which
other people insist on using them - so, at least while I was there,
the phones wouldn't be radiating when not in use!

Maybe if I can ever afford it I'll check out those Orchid phones, as a
gift for people.

Ahhhh...one day, we're going to laugh at the foolishness of creating
technology which needs to be counteracted by technology to make it safer.

In fact the Orchid phone can be set to "low radiation" at all times, and
simply won't connect to the handset if it goes out of range. If you don't
use this setting, the phone will power up to the minimum needed to contact
the handset while it's at a longer range.

They should be arriving in the country for shipping this week.
