Longest range - Due to higher transmitter power (1 watt) allowed by the FCC, you can expect seven to eight times the range of an earlier .001-watt cordless 43-49 MHz telephone, and about three or four times the range of an analog or digital 900-MHz cordless telephone. The 900-MHz phones all have a better range due to the wavelengths being shorter -- shorter waves are easier to bounce off objects. However, only the DSS versions of the 900-MHz cordless telephones can use the full 1 watt of transmitting power. The normal digital and analog versions of the 900-MHz phones have a lower power limitation.
Best sound quality - Since the spread spectrum signal is uniformly spread over a wide range of frequencies for transmission, the signal avoids interference and noise from other signals. Older 43-49 MHz cordless phones had only 25 crowded channels and were very susceptible to interference. And 900-MHz analog phones still suffer from the interference problems of any analog cordless telephone, and can be heard on inexpensive radio scanners or your neighbor's same-brand cordless telephone. A spread spectrum phone is much less susceptible to signal fading. This makes the reception of a spread spectrum cordless phone much less sensitive to the location and orientation of the handset than that of a conventional lower-power analog cordless telephone.
Highest security - Due to digital transmissions and constantly changing frequency channels in use, only the matching receiver has a copy of the pre-assigned spreading code. Millions of scrambling codes are available and are selected automatically when the headset is lifted from the cradle. Common radio scanners

Contrary to many beliefs, all cordless phones have basically the same range. They are all limited to 100mw. power, (one tenth of a watt), and are limited in range, especially by home construction, wood, metal, wires, etc. between the home base and handset. I have tried 900 Mhz., 2,4 Ghz., 5,8 Ghz., and DECT..(ecch,,hype.!) at 1900 Mhz. A few extra feet was obtained by the 900 Mhz., but overall performance and range still limited. The best range is obtained with no obstructions between the units. (Your best fix, would be to get 'Call Forwarding' from the phone company, then forward your home or office calls to your cell phone when you are away in the shop, or wherever..)

I absolutely love my Panasonic 5.8GHz phone.
