For decades, offices have relied on DECT technology for secure, reliable wireless audio performance. But in the past six years, improvements in Bluetooth audio technology have closed the gap on the advantages of DECT.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Logitech\u2019s new whitepaper, \u201cFrom DECT to Bluetooth: Rethinking Enterprise Wireless Audio\u201d<\/a>, we put the <\/span>Zone Wireless 2<\/span><\/a> headset to the ultimate test to prove that modern Bluetooth isn\u2019t just \u201cgood enough\u201d for the enterprise, it might actually be better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Putting Zone to the Test\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

To demonstrate the robustness of modern Bluetooth in high-density environments, we conducted three tests comparing DECT headsets to Zone Wireless 2, our top-of-the-line business headset built for power users wherever and however they may work.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The<\/strong> Extreme Stress Test: <\/b>In a controlled lab environment, we created a \u201cworst-case scenario\u201d with 50 active headsets in a tight space with heavy Wi-Fi interference to see how they performed under immense pressure.<\/span><\/span>\n

  2. Real-World Corporate Test: <\/b>We gave headsets to 110 employees at a high-traffic financial services office for a full workday to provide insights on usability, satisfaction, and performance against the unpredictability of a real corporate workday.

    The Verdict: Four Reasons to Rethink Your Enterprise Setups<\/b><\/h4>\n

    The data is in, and the performance gap that once favored DECT has officially closed. After analyzing results from the three tests, we\u2019ve identified four findings that prove modern Bluetooth, and specifically Zone Wireless 2, is ready for the enterprise. <\/span><\/p>\n
