Plantronics Achieves DECT Security

Plantronics’ CS500 and Savi 700 Series have been certified by the DECT Forum.

The DECT Forum is an industry group focused on developing and improving DECT wireless technology.

The new standards provide guidelines and a compliance certification process to manufacturers for improvements to security in eight areas, including authentication, encryption, call set-up, call progress and tear down.

To obtain DECT Forum Security Certification, a product must comply with all recommendations and be submitted for independent verification at an approved test lab.
