Based on the DECT standard, Cordless Advanced Technology - internet and quality (CAT-iq) brings together broadband internet and telephony. CAT-iq supports upcoming consumer products offering exciting features for wireless home communications and entertainment.
The additional audio bandwidth offered by CAT-iq ensures great, natural sound quality. Also, the long range ensures coverage throughout the house. Access to the internet means CAT-iq is the only cordless technology worldwide to support streaming wireless music and audio applications.
Home gateways
By connecting to emerging IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) networks, CAT-iq compatible phones can easily access yellow pages and other public phone books. This is just one example of potential new services and emerging Web 2.0 applications that CAT-iq will be able to support.
Suppliers of home gateways are already implementing CAT-iq. The strong interoperability demand of operators and service providers will rapidly make it the third integrated in-home distribution technology alongside LAN and WLAN. CAT-iq will help deliver more services and applications than available through simple internet routing.
