Understanding DECT NR+: The First Non-cellular 5G Standard

DECT NR+ is a versatile radio technology standard developed by ETSI, setting an example for future connectivity. It has also been included as part of ITU’s 5G standards, making it the first non-cellular 5G standard, commonly dubbed “non-cellular 5G”. NR+ employs a self-healing, decentralized, and autonomous mesh network, and makes use of the global and license-exempt legacy DECT 1.9 GHz band. The technology allows for low latency communications and massive deployments, making it suitable for both real time control and massive Internet of Things sensor nets.  

In this webinar, we will take a closer look at this new technology, highlighting the main features and operation and its benefits compared with similar existing technology. We will look into a couple of the most applicable use cases for NR+, before concluding with the status of the standardization.
