subject: Cordless Phones And Bt Digital Baby Monitors Enable Communication Throughout The Home [print this page] The technology behind communications in the home has advanced rapidly in the last decade or so. One of the most significant steps was the transformation of analogue data into digital data that can then be passed between a number of different networks and devices.
Prior to the digital age any telephone conversation had to be transmitted down a pair of copper wires but with the use of digital data and fibre optic cables it is now possible to deliver thousands of conversations down a single wire. Whats more the data can be exchanged between internet service providers and cellular networks so they can all communicate with one another.
In the home this offers some major benefits. Many households now have at least one set of cordless phones and the use of digital data means the high quality calls can be delivered to a regular landline or a VoIP internet line that usually offers significantly reduced call rates. Some VoIP phones even enable the user to make video calls to any location around the world!
Phones that utilise digital technology are know as DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) and they use frequency hopping between channels to minimise interference and increase security. With a DECT cordless telephone it is possible to connect up to four handsets to a single base station which improves the quality of your calls and reduces the number of wires in your home.
The baby monitor is another important household gadget that makes use of digital communications. Modern baby monitors use digital data to deliver a clearer sound and the range is far greater with less interference. Most models can be used up to 50 metres indoors and 300 metres outdoors so you can move freely around your home. In addition, the use of frequency hopping technology helps to reduce interference by automatically hopping between fifty or more different channels.
For added security there are a range of baby monitors that can also connect to your Wi-Fi to enable a much neater wireless system. The use of video means you can connect up to four different cameras to your baby monitor and keep a close eye through a high-quality LCD colour screen on your handset. In order to take advantage of this technology you will need to ensure that you have a good broadband set-up in your home but with most households now being offered the latest fibre optic broadband this shouldnt be a problem.
