*Discontinued* Replaced by the new Plantronics CA12CD-S Plantronics CA12CD is a cordless PTT (push-to-talk) 6-wire headset adapter designed to provide wireless encrypted communications and PTT functionality for applications such as Public Safety Dispatch and Air Traffic Control. Key Features: DECT technology operating in the 1.9GHz radio band provides superior voice clarity and security. Operates in the UPCS band (1.92 - 1.93 GHz) in North America Industry standard ergonomic design of PTT unit. Robust PTT switch with selectable locking/non-Locking operational modes. Range - is up to 150ft depending on the environment. Two charging wells; one for the remote unit while the other facilitates charging the extra battery pack (supplied with unit). 2 Lithium-Ion battery packs provide longer talk time (approximately 8 hours total) and faster recharge rates.

It is recommended by Plantronics to have the bases at least 8-10 feet apart from each other for best results. In the US, the UPCS frequency spectrum (1.92mHZ to 1.93mHz) has been allocated by the FCC for use by unlicensed personal communications devices. The FCC, on the other hand, has NOT allocated the DECT frequency spectrum (1.88mHz to 1.90mHz) for this use. As a result, the DECT frequency spectrum cannot be used in the US for unlicensed personal communication devices because their operation can interfere with, with other RF devices operating within this spectrum.
