The advantage is the circuit switched approach and therefore better specified quality of service for vocal communication than with Wireless LAN
. IP-DECT offers do support lower rate data communication for the wireless part.
There are some of the traditional telephone equipment manufacturers and smaller enterprises that offer IP-DECT systems, both for residential (single base station/access points), as well as for enterprise usage (multiple base stations/access points) where it is important to cover large areas with a maintained speech path.
