The W76P is Yealink's primary DECT recommendation for Australian businesses with mobile workers. The system includes a base station and one W56H handset, supports up to 8 simultaneous calls and 8 handsets, and registers as a standard SIP extension on any cloud phone system or PBX. For warehouses, retail, hospitality, and small manufacturing sites, this is the DECT system to buy.

Who is this phone for?
The W76P is the right solution when your staff need to move around while taking and making calls. Warehouses, retail floors, small hospitality venues, tradespeople in workshop environments, and any business where a desk phone is impractical for mobile workers.
A DECT system works differently from a desk phone. The W76P base station connects to your network (via cabled Ethernet, PoE supported) and registers as a SIP extension with your phone system. The handsets then connect wirelessly to the base station via DECT. Staff carry the handset throughout the premises and calls route to them as if they were at a desk.
The W76P replaces the discontinued W53P and W60B in Yealink's lineup. Do not buy those models. The W76P is more capable and is the currently supported system.
For standard office desk use, a desk phone (T31P, T33G, or T46U) is the better solution. DECT is specifically for environments where mobility is a genuine requirement.

Build quality and design
The W76P system consists of two components. The W70B base station is a compact desktop or wall-mountable unit that connects to your network and power. Build quality is solid and the unit is unobtrusive. It has two Ethernet ports (one WAN, one optional PC passthrough) and runs on either PoE or a supplied power adapter.
The W56H handset is a well-built cordless handset. The 2.4-inch colour screen is clear and visible in different lighting conditions including direct sunlight, which matters in warehouse and outdoor environments. The handset is comfortable to hold for extended calls, and the battery life of up to 17 hours of talk time covers a full working day without recharging in most environments.
Call quality on Australian NBN
The W76P base station connects to your network via Ethernet, and call quality over NBN is subject to the same considerations as any SIP desk phone: QoS enabled on your router, SIP ALG disabled, and a stable internet connection. The DECT link between the handset and the base station is local and does not add latency or affect call quality.
DECT operates at 1.9GHz, which is separate from the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands and does not suffer from Wi-Fi congestion. DECT range is typically 50 metres indoors in a standard office or warehouse environment, extending to 300 metres in outdoor line-of-sight conditions.
For larger sites that need coverage beyond a single base station range, the W76P can be used in multi-cell configurations with the Yealink W80 or W90 multi-cell base stations. For most AU SMB sites (single floor, up to 1,000m2), one W76P base station is sufficient.
Features
Key features for AU business deployments:
8 simultaneous calls. Up to 8 calls active at the same time, across up to 8 registered handsets. Sufficient for most SMB mobile worker environments.
Gap-DECT protocol. The W76P uses the DECT GAP standard, which means additional handsets from compatible manufacturers can be registered in addition to Yealink handsets. In practice, most AU deployments use Yealink W56H or W57R handsets for consistency.
8 SIP account support on the base. Each handset can be assigned a different SIP extension number, or multiple handsets can share one extension with simultaneous ring. Useful for 'any handset picks up' ring groups.
Repeater support. The Yealink RT30 DECT repeater can extend the base station range. Up to 6 repeaters per base station for larger sites.
Auto provisioning. The W70B base station supports Yealink's RPS auto-provisioning, so SIP credentials configure automatically when connected to a managed SIP provider like Maxotel.
What works / What doesn't
Pros
Best DECT system for AU SMBs -- 8 calls and 8 handsets covers most site requirements
W56H handset has a colour screen and 17h battery -- solid for full-day use
DECT 1.9GHz operates separately from Wi-Fi -- no congestion issues
Up to 300m outdoor range for larger outdoor work areas
Auto provisioning with major AU SIP providers including Maxotel
Cons
Sold as system (base + 1 handset) -- additional handsets are purchased separately and add cost
DECT range is 50m indoor -- not suitable for large multi-floor sites without repeaters
Not suitable for desk use -- if staff are primarily desk-bound, a desk phone is better
The W56H handset does not support USB headsets -- handset speaker is the only handsfree option
Australian pricing and where to buy
The W76P system (base + 1 handset) is stocked by AU IT retailers including Scorptec, UMart, Mwave, and Computer Alliance. System pricing typically sits around $199-$249 AUD. Additional W56H handsets are sold separately, typically around $99-$129 AUD each. Prices on this page are updated nightly from StaticICE.
For sites that need 3+ handsets, buying the W70B base station separately and purchasing handsets individually may be more cost-efficient than buying the bundle multiple times. Check retailer pricing for both the system bundle and individual components before ordering.
Deploying a DECT system? Maxotel supports SIP DECT handsets including Yealink W-series.
The W76P is the right DECT system for Australian businesses with mobile workers. 8-call capacity and 8-handset support covers the majority of AU SMB DECT deployments. The W56H handset is reliable and comfortable for all-day use.
Don't buy the W53P or W60B. Those systems are discontinued. The W76P is the current recommendation and is widely stocked across AU retailers.
For larger sites requiring multi-cell DECT coverage, look at the Yealink W80 or W90 systems.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Yealink W76P connect to a phone system?
The W76P base station connects to your local network via Ethernet and registers with your SIP phone system (cloud PBX or on-premise) as a standard SIP extension. The cordless handsets then connect to the base via DECT. From the phone system's perspective, the W76P looks like any other SIP phone.
What replaced the Yealink W53P and W60B in Australia?
Both the W53P and W60B have been discontinued. The W76P is the current recommended replacement system. It offers more simultaneous calls (8 vs 4 for the W53P), better range, and the updated W56H handset with a colour screen and longer battery life. Do not buy the W53P or W60B.
How many handsets can the Yealink W76P support?
The W76P base station (W70B) supports up to 8 registered DECT handsets. The system is sold with 1 W56H handset included. Additional handsets (W56H, W57R ruggedized, or compatible GAP-DECT handsets) can be purchased separately and registered to the same base.
Does the W76P work with NBN in Australia?
Yes. The W70B base station connects to your network via Ethernet and uses SIP over your NBN internet connection. Ensure QoS is enabled on your router and SIP ALG is disabled. The DECT link between handsets and the base station is a local wireless connection and does not depend on the internet.
Can I use the W76P in a warehouse or outdoor area?
Yes. The DECT range is up to 300 metres in outdoor line-of-sight conditions. Indoor range is up to 50 metres. For larger warehouses, DECT repeaters (Yealink RT30) can extend coverage up to 6 repeaters per base station. For very large sites or multi-floor buildings, the Yealink W80 multi-cell base station system is more appropriate.
