In today’s world, we all rely on our mobile phones. But what about workplace-specific mobility? When it comes to staying connected on the job, there are two main options:
The first is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) strategy, where employees use their personal smartphones with a business app like E-MetroTel’s InfinityOne or Infinity 3065. This works well for knowledge workers and mobile professionals. However, in industries like healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and hospitality, employer-provided mobile devices are often the better choice. Standardized handsets ensure reliable, easy-to-use, and secure communications across a facility.
Why Choose DECT?
Today’s gold standard for business wireless communications is DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications). Providing employees with DECT wireless phones offers several advantages, especially in environments that demand mobility, reliability, and security. Here’s how DECT can make a difference in your business:
1. Keep Your Team Connected & Productive
Employees can move freely throughout the workplace without missing important calls. This is crucial in industries where staff frequently shift between locations. Employees stay accessible, reducing missed calls and improving response times.
2. Crystal-Clear Calls, No Interference
DECT operates on a dedicated frequency band, meaning no interference from Wi-Fi networks. That translates into exceptional call clarity and reliability, even in large buildings, warehouses, and multi-story facilities.
3. Built-In Security You Can Trust
Unlike traditional cordless phones, DECT uses secure authentication between the handset and base station. With encrypted communication, your calls remain private and protected from eavesdropping.
4. Cost-Effective & Long-Lasting
- No need for expensive cellular plans—DECT is a more affordable alternative.
- Long battery life means fewer interruptions and less frequent charging.
- DECT works with your existing telephony infrastructure, reducing costs and maximizing your current investment.
5. Easy to Integrate & Scale
E-MetroTel’s DECT solutions integrate seamlessly with on-premises, virtualized, and cloud-based systems. As your business grows, scaling up is fast and hassle-free.
6. Options for Every Work Environment
E-MetroTel offers two DECT handsets, both compatible with hands-free headsets, making them ideal for professionals who need to stay mobile. The Infinity 277 offers a streamlined design and 22 hour talk time with a large easy-to-read screen. Need something tougher? Our ruggedized model, the Infinity 577 is built for industrial and outdoor environments, standing up to the harshest conditions.
7. No Wi-Fi Congestion, Just Smooth Communications
Unlike Wi-Fi phones, DECT devices offer clear voice communications that aren’t subject to the other traffic on your wireless network. Plus, E-MetroTel’s DECT solution supports multiple handsets on a single system, making it easy to expand as your business grows.
