asterisk users - Oct 2020 - Anyone that know of DECT "client" for asterisk?

Anyone here that knows some hardware USB "client" (DECT) that can
connect to
a DECT base station and act as a "provider" in asterisk?

Ergo, asterisk is the DECT handset, and connects to the DECT base station.

Its also important that it also works with most asterisk-compatible devices,
including for example raspberry's.

 

The reason I ask, is that many providers in sweden have started disabling
SIP account details and now require usage of their own "router's".
Using FXS
adapters is not an option as the digital->analog->digital conversion gives
very high echoes in the phones.

The idea is to have something simulate a DECT handset, connect to the
provider's router, and thus be able to still use asterisk.

 

Best regards, Sebastian Nielsen

That's very irritating and make me angry. Few of my client had the same
problem. The solution: write a letter asking the SIP credentials
explaining you want configure your own equipment and tell them you
switch to another provider in case of refusal. Good luck!

I don't know if there is an appropriate hardware to build a DECT bridge
and I doubt that fiddling with anything like that will not be a
reliable solution.

The problem is that there is only a few operators left (4 in sweden) of which 2
have stopped accepting new customers at all.
And the 2 other requires a credit check with a minimum monthly wage of 1200$
(which is the "golden standard" for getting a loan) just because
theres no "credit limit" and you could potentially call for as much as
you want.

They aren't even interested in getting "low-credit" customers, and
when I asked if they instead could put up a credit limit, they told me thats
something they will do when the account is approved and opened - ergo its not a
way of bypassing the wage limit, but is a way of own peace, and they also told
me that the credit limit is not a gurantee that the bill will stay below the
limit, it will only check during new calls, they will not terminate a call due
to credit limit, which means a premium call could still overshoot the account.

Most operators in sweden use the TechniColor modem, which also is a DECT base
station.
I think that such a solution would create a very reliable solution as long as
the actual hardware is close to the DECT base station.

Since the DECT/GAP protocol is digital, theres no analog-digital or
digital-analog conversion circuit needed.

I have seen a lot of DECT USB adapters, but these act "as a base
station" (ergo accepts registrations from handsets) and not "as a
handset".

If there is some hardware that is opposite, like "act as a handset"
and could talk to a DECT base - it would be preferable.
Somebody that knows such hardware somewhere?
It must be someone that want to connect a asterisk server or other PC solution
to a standard DECT base?
