Cordless Advanced Technology—internet and quality (CAT-iq) is a certification program maintained by the DECT Forum. It is based on New Generation DECT (NG-DECT) series of standards from ETSI.

NG-DECT/CAT-iq contains features that expand the generic GAP profile with mandatory support for high quality wideband voice, enhanced security, calling party identification, multiple lines, parallel calls, and similar functions to facilitate [[VoIP]] calls through [[Session Initiation Protocol|SIP]] and [[H.323]] protocols.

There are several CAT-iq profiles which define supported voice features:
* CAT-iq 1.0{{Snd}} "HD Voice" (ETSI TS 102 527-1): wideband audio, calling party line and name identification (CLIP/CNAP)
* CAT-iq 2.0{{Snd}} "Multi Line" (ETSI TS 102 527-3): multiple lines, line name, call waiting, call transfer, phonebook, call list, DTMF tones, headset, settings
* CAT-iq 2.1{{Snd}} "Green" (ETSI TS 102 527-5): 3-party conference, call intrusion, caller blocking (CLIR), answering machine control, SMS, power-management

* CAT-iq IOT{{Snd}} Smart Home connectivity (IOT) with [[DECT Ultra Low Energy]] (ETSI TS 102 939)

CAT-iq allows any DECT handset to communicate with a DECT base from a different vendor, providing full interoperability. CAT-iq 2.0/2.1 feature set is designed to support [[IP-DECT]] base stations found in office [[IP-PBX]] and [[home gateway]]s.
