BT Diverse Repeater Repeater Specification

The BT Diverse Repeater is a device designed to extend the range and enhance the coverage of compatible DECT cordless telephone systems. It operates on the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) standard, ensuring seamless integration with existing handsets and base units. The repeater functions by receiving and retransmitting signals between the base unit and cordless handsets, effectively doubling the operational range in open spaces and improving signal reliability in challenging environments such as multi-story houses or office buildings.

The device supports up to two simultaneous calls, maintaining high-quality audio transmission without interference. For optimal performance, it is recommended to position the repeater at a midpoint between the base unit and the farthest intended handset location, ensuring it remains within the base unit's range. Setup is straightforward, requiring only a simple registration process with the base unit, after which the repeater automatically manages signal handover.

The BT Diverse Repeater is compatible with various BT Diverse models and other GAP-compatible DECT systems, offering flexibility and scalability in expanding telecommunication networks. It is powered by a standard electrical outlet, featuring a compact design that allows unobtrusive placement. With its robust performance and ease of use, the BT Diverse Repeater is an ideal solution for users requiring extended cordless phone coverage without compromising call quality.
