Landlines and Cordless Phones
Landlines and cordless phones
are essential communication tools that offer reliability and convenience for both home and office use. Landlines phones are wired telecommunication devices that directly connect to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) through a physical cable. They are reliable and have been widely used for decades. Key features include:
Stable Connection: Unaffected by power outages in most cases (except cordless phones relying on electric bases).
High Sound Quality: Often clearer than mobile connections.
No Dependence on Battery: Operates without requiring a charge.
Variety of Models: Includes rotary, push-button, and wall-mounted designs.
Cordless phones are wireless devices that connect to a base station linked to a landline. Typically, they rely on radio frequency (RF) technology to communicate with their base station. Modern cordless phones often include features like:
Caller ID: Displays the number or name of incoming callers.
Multiple Handsets: Allows pairing additional handsets with one base station.
Answering Machine: Integrated voicemail functionality.
Range: Typically works within 100–300 feet indoors and up to 1,000 feet outdoors.
Battery-powered: Uses rechargeable batteries that dock in a cradle for recharging.
