CT2 meaning

In telecoms contracts and regulatory materials, CT2 refers to the second‑generation cordless telephony standard used for short‑range voice services and, historically, public “Telepoint” offerings. Technically, CT2 is a digital system using frequency shift keying (FSK) in the 864–868 MHz band and operates using time division duplex (TDD). CT2 is a descriptive technical term rather than one defined in legislation or case law. It has been referenced in spectrum management and equipment conformity documents issued by regulators (for example, Ofcom in the UK and ComReg in Ireland), typically in the context of radio interface requirements and interference management. In practice, CT2 is now largely obsolete, with commercial services long withdrawn and the relevant spectrum largely repurposed for other uses. Its legal significance arises in legacy agreements, equipment specifications, spectrum audits, and due diligence, including warranties about compliance, interference, and decommissioning obligations. Usage and understanding are broadly consistent across England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Any continued operation or supply of CT2 equipment would need to comply with current spectrum authorisations and radio equipment conformity requirements applicable in the relevant jurisdiction.
