Eco DECT

Eco DECT phones use less electricity than a conventional DECT telephone. Reduce your carbon footprint

 

What is ECO DECT?

ECO DECT is a new technology that reduces the power consumption and transmission power of DECT phones. 

ECO DECT benefits overview

 

• For up to 60% less energy use

   

  thanks to an energy-saving power supply

  In comparison to our conventional cordless phones

• Reduction of transmitting power to almost zero when handset is docked 
  

  With only one registered handset

• ECO Mode -for reduction of transmitting power by 80% 
  

  For all registered handsets in comparison to when ECO Mode is not activated and our conventional cordless phones. Dependent on distance from base station

• Variable reduction of transmitting power according to distance between handset and base station

  
  For all registered handsets in comparison to when ECO Mode is not activated and our conventional cordless phones. Dependent on distance from base station. 

How much energy does ECO DECT save?

ECO DECT-based Gigaset phones can cut power consumption by 60% compared to conventional Gigaset handsets. Assuming that a phone is used for an average of 2 hours a day, the switched-mode power supply can cut power consumption by roughly 2 watts (from 3.5 to 1.3 watts). 

Moreover, fewer raw materials like copper and iron are needed to manufacture a switched-mode power supply than a power supply for a linear handset. 

How does ECO DECT help the environment?

ECO DECT-based Gigaset phones are now supplied with switched-mode power supplies. These are more efficient, saving power consumption by up to 60% compared with conventional linear power supplies.

Will ECO DECT technology impact performance of the phone? 

No, you can expect the same superior performance in ECO DECT-based products as in all Gigaset phones. If you choose to use ECO Mode, you manually reduce the signal distance by 50%, or to 25 meters inside the home and 150 meters outside.
