Because of the success of the 900 MHz frequency
for cordless phones, the bandwidth occupied becomes overcrowded. In 1998, the FCC made the 2.4 GHz
spectrum available for cordless phone users. With less “traffic” in the in the radio band, noise and
interference are minimized. This frequency provided increased range – up to 2, 200 feet – and even greater
security, as it is outside the range of radio scanners.
A digital 2.4 GHz phone increases security by filtering interference and ensuring that your conversation is secure from eavesdropping. The advantage of 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum (DSS) is enhanced clarity,
security and the ability to have multiple handsets linked to a base using only one phone jack. This flexibility
Allows you to place cordless phone in areas where a phone jack isn’t available.
Nowadays, 2.4 GHz phone are losing shelf space to 5.8 GHz and DECT 6.0 models. As with the more popular
platforms, 2.4 GHz models host a variety of features, such as integrated answering systems, caller ID,
speakerphones and support for multiple handsets. One thing to keep in mind is that other electronic gadgets,
Including baby monitors, microwave ovens and wireless networking gear may create interference on your 2.4
GHz phone.
