Except Dect runs on 1880-1900 MHz.


So, if you were to connect a 2.4Ghz antenna then the VSWR would probably
kill the transmitter over time.

One of the very good things about Dect is that it has its own frequency
band. Only Dect devices operate here, so there is very little chance of
interference. For this to work, everything has to work within the Dect
standard, and I guess this includes transmit power levels.


If you do want to go further, then we believe that the BT diverse
repeater will work with the C460IP. It is also a Siemens product.

I haven't tried it yet.
