American Telecom Now Eligible to Certify Telephones Using Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Technology with the FCC for the U.S. M28 May 2006
American Telecom Services, Inc. (Amex: TES) a provider of Internet phone ("VoIP") and prepaid long distance communications service bundled with digital, cordless, multi-handset phones, announced today that it is now eligible to certify telephones with the FCC that use Digitally Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) Technology using the 1.9 gigahertz (GHz) band, a necessary step in bringing such products to U.S. market.
The 1.9 GHz band is reserved for phones that use the DECT standard, which is a cellular system similar to the cellular standard GSM. A major difference between the systems is the cell radius. GSM is designed for wide-area mobile use and DECT is designed for use in smaller areas such as the home. Phones using DECT technology on the 1.9 GHz band will provide the user with a far better experience as compared to using a phone on the unlicensed 900 megahertz (MHz), 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz, bands where cordless telephones often encounter interference from garage door openers, microwave ovens, baby monitors, wireless LANs (Wi-Fi) and other wireless devices.
As part of American Telecom Services' commitment to DECT technology, the Company has joined UTAM, Inc., the organization designated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as the coordinator for the 1.9 GHz band. Part of UTAM's oversight role has been to clear the 1.9 GHz band of its previously licensed users and making the deployment of DECT phones possible. ATS has received an affidavit from UTAM stipulating ATS as a participating member in good standing for the purposes of Section 15.307(b) of the FCC rules. ATS has committed to pay, on a per-user basis, a small fee to UTAM.
Bruce Hahn, CEO of American Telecom Services, commented, "Our UTAM membership, and the rights that it provides, is the another step towards the successful execution of our strategy to embrace DECT technology in our products. The adoption of the DECT standard is in keeping with our commitment to provide products bundled with state-of-the-art technology at the lowest possible cost, and with the highest possible quality. DECT is a proven technology that has been used throughout Europe and other parts of the world for years. We look forward to bringing this advanced architecture to consumers through our retail partners in the form of outstanding products."
