Radio Unit Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise 8379

The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise 8379 DECT base station provides a robust infrastructure for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) indoors and outdoors, enabling connectivity for mobile workers across sites. Operating in the RF range of 1880–1930 MHz and designed to pair with Alcatel-Lucent DECT handsets, the 8379 delivers clear voice quality and integrates with Alcatel-Lucent Communication Servers to support features such as dial-by-name and multi-line management. Its compact dimensions (170 mm × 45 mm × 215 mm) and requirement for cost-effective twisted-pair digital connectivity make it suitable for SMB, campus, industrial and other demanding environments.

Advantages

The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise 8379 offers excellent voice quality in challenging radio environments, centralized management through Communication Servers, and compatibility with Alcatel-Lucent DECT handsets to provide advanced telephony features. Its RF range (1880–1930 MHz) supports deployment across regions, and the device’s compact form factor and simple twisted-pair connectivity reduce installation and operational costs.
