Microcell/picocell-only networks

Certain adaptable buzz systems, conspicuously PHS and DECT, alone accommodate microcellular (and picocellular) coverage. Microcellular systems are about acclimated to accommodate low amount adaptable buzz systems in high-density environments such as ample cities. PHS is deployed throughout above cities in Japan as an another to accustomed cellular service. DECT is acclimated by abounding businesses to arrange clandestine license-free microcellular networks aural ample campuses area wireline buzz account is beneath useful. DECT is additionally acclimated as a private, non-networked, cordless buzz arrangement area its low adeptness contour ensures that adjacent DECT systems do not baffle with anniversary other.

A advertiser of these types of arrangement was the CT2 cordless buzz system, which provided admission to a looser arrangement (without handover), afresh with abject stations deployed in areas area ample numbers of bodies adeptness charge to accomplish calls. CT2's limitations ensured the abstraction never took off. CT2's successor, DECT, was provided with an interworking profile, GIP so that GSM networks could accomplish use of it for microcellular access, but in convenance the success of GSM aural Europe, and the adeptness of GSM to abutment microcells after application another technologies, meant GIP was not often used, and DECT's use in accepted was bound to non-GSM clandestine networks, including use as cordless buzz systems
