Alcatel 8378 DECT IP-xBS FOR EXTERNAL ANTENNAS Alcatel 8378 DECT IP-xBS FOR EXTERNAL ANTENNAS. The Alcatel-Lucent 8378 DECT IP-xBS provides a robust infrastructure for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) in buildings and outdoors, to connect mobile workers everywhere. The unique radio tuning capabilities and on-air synchronization enable network coverage in the most difficult areas to ensure excellent voice quality everywhere. The IP-xBS base stations pair with Alcatel-Lucent DECT handsets to deliver expert communication features (such as dial-by-name and multi-line management) from ALE communication servers. The 8378 IP-xBS powered solution offers cost-effective operations for all sizes of enterprise businesses. Excellent voice quality meets operational simplicity in small branches, SMBs, and large multi-site companies with networked communication servers. The base stations leverage the IP network for voice; do not require any IP network customization; and are centrally managed by the communication servers. 8378 DECT IP-xBS handover and roaming capabilities on OXE extend the mobile coverage of TDM DECT networks, based on Alcatel-Lucent 4070 and 8379 DECT Base Stations. Investments in TDM DECT are preserved with IP-xBS base stations. They deliver quick return on investment, and seamless mobility for remote buildings, branch offices, and refurbished floors.
