DECT Forum presence at CeBIT 98
Report on CeBIT (from the DECT Forum Newsletter).

Wireless Local Loop Latin America - Buenos Aires, Brazil - organised by IBC  conferences, 24-27^th March 1998.   The conference included a session devoted to case studies of existing DECT deployments in the wireless local loop in Latin America.

"Key themes emerging were:
Wireless local loop - a sense of maturity emerged in the presentations. Some self criticism indicated a confidence that equipment capabilities are maturing and that DECT is indeed a very viable WLL global solution. Reported orders for DECT WLL lines during 1997 were substantial, supporting such a view. Over 150 different DECT WLL installations were listed in a publication distributed by the DECT Forum, some commercial installations, some trials.

"DECT ISDN products are already available. Due to country specific differences the early markets will be Germany, where the cost of ISDN access is lower than elsewhere in Europe.

"Data products, long awaited, seem finally to have arrived. A DECT PCMCIA module was shown by one of the delegates from Philips. An impressive demonstration of live Internet surfing using a PCMCIA DECT module and ISDN base station was shown by Dolsch and Amand.

"A DECT still camera product was alluded to in a talk from Siemens to be shown at CeBIT 98. Other companies developing DECT multimedia products also presented papers.

"GSM/DECT dual mode handsets - little progress since last year, but it would seem things are happening quietly - watch CeBIT.

"Prospects for DECT (PWT) in North America were painted as very rosy by a presenter from Freepoint Telecom, who anticipated that market growth there could even outstrip Europe within a few years."
