Your conclusions may be right in Europe, but not in the US
(wikipedia says the E in DECT used to stand for European).
DECT phones are now available in the US but only in the last
couple years (FCC changed its rules to let them in).
We mostly have other kinds of digital phones,
with labels like DSS or FHSS or DSSS. Most of these are 2.4 GHz
(which is dumb because microwave ovens or WiFi cause interference;
one reason DECT is coming in) but the newest ones are indeed 5.8 GHz.

I'm unclear about the IRIS phone- is it some variant of DECT that
does not transmit 24/7?
