Reliable Wireless Infrastructurefor Enterprise Mobility
When your mobile teams move across expansive facilities, standard Wi-Fi networks often fail to maintain the voice quality and reliability they need. Mitel's fourth-generation SIP-DECT Base Stations deliver dedicated wireless coverage for voice communication, indoors, outdoors, and in high-density environments. Purpose-built for healthcare, hospitality, retail, and industrial operations, the RFP 4x family keeps your workforce connected with secure, high-quality audio wherever the job goes.
Benefits of SIP-DECT Base Stations
Simple Deployment and Centralized Management
The centralized Open Mobility Manager (OMM) runs natively on any RFP 4x base station, enabling straightforward provisioning without additional server hardware for deployments up to 256 base stations and 512 users. Over-the-air synchronization pushes firmware updates, language settings, and configuration changes directly to handsets—reducing setup time and ongoing maintenance effort.
Reliable Voice Quality Across Large Facilities
Fourth-generation Mitel base stations operate on dedicated DECT frequencies to avoid Wi-Fi congestion, supporting up to 8 simultaneous wideband voice channels per unit. Enhanced signal strength, adaptive jitter compensation, and echo cancellation deliver consistent audio quality across offices, hospitals, hotels, and multi-building campuses.
Flexible Coverage for Any Environment
From compact indoor offices to parking lots and construction tunnels, the RFP 4x family adapts to your site requirements. Models support integrated or external antennas, optional IP66-rated outdoor housing, and Power over Ethernet, giving you the flexibility to extend coverage where your teams operate.

Key Features
Secure, Reliable Communication
-
Operates on a reserved DECT frequency band separate from Wi-Fi, delivering stable voice communication in congested or mission-critical environments without competing for network bandwidth.
-
Supports DSAA authentication between base station and handset, DECT encryption, and enhanced DECT security protocols to protect voice communication against interception.
-
Minimizes interference in reflective environments such as warehouses and industrial halls, maintaining consistent call quality where standard wireless signals degrade.
Simplified Operations
-
Pushes firmware upgrades, company settings, language files, and menu configurations directly to DECT handsets without requiring an external download server or manual intervention.
-
Runs natively on any RFP 4x base station for centralized DECT and SIP configuration, clustering administration, and handset provisioning—supporting installations up to 1,024 users on enterprise models.
-
No base station licenses are required for deployments of up to 5 base stations, reducing initial deployment cost and administrative overhead for smaller sites.
Built for Any Site
-
All RFP 4x models support optional IP66-rated external housing that withstands dust, moisture, and UV exposure—enabling deployment in outdoor locations without disrupting wireless signals.
-
The RFP 47 features two external antenna connectors to maximize or focus wireless coverage in challenging environments such as elevator shafts, tunnels, and wide-area outdoor facilities.
-
All models support IEEE 802.3af PoE (Class 2 or Class 3), eliminating the need for separate power supplies and simplifying installation across ceilings and walls.

DECT licensing is based on the scale of your deployment: the first five RFPs require no license. Expansion beyond that uses OM System Licenses for the total RFP count, and additional Locating or Added Value Licenses when you introduce messaging. For large or multi‑site environments, you manage the system through the Multi‑Open Mobility Manager (MOM), which requires the SIP‑DECT MOM Server License.
