Several cooperating DECT sites constitute a "seamless mobile communications environment serving just a few up to several thousand users on one or more sites. The DECT digital radio technology permits very high densities of users to be served, in a secure and robust way and to profit by both voice and data services with a single infrastructure." This includes replacing regular phone and cell and WiFi service: | Several cooperating DECT sites constitute a "seamless mobile communications environment serving just a few up to several thousand users on one or more sites.

In [[Wireless Local Loop]] (WLL) DECT is "a rapidly available, low-cost, high-quality radio alternative to wired subscriber local loops, to bring public network voice and data services to subscribers. It enables quick network deployment, coverage to be built up as needed, and can be used as a replacement for the wireline, thereby reducing the initial capital investment for the operator." | In [[Wireless Local Loop]] (WLL) DECT is "a rapidly available, low-cost, high-quality radio alternative to wired subscriber local loops, to bring public network voice and data services to subscribers.

Some multi-location retailers, notably [[GM]], have put in orders for this equipment as soon as it's robust, to cover all dealers and suppliers - and anyone in or near their lots or plants or offices. [[Starbucks]] is another that has worked with carriers to provide [[WiFi]] and [[cell]] coverage already in its stores, that reaches out ot the street. Finding those retailers who seek also to become more general service providers could identify a [[pilot]] project that could enable both [[Consumerium Services]] and marketing by these retailers, e.g. Starbucks retailing of [[fair trade]] [[coffee]], etc. | ||
