DECT handsets are cordless, as the name suggests.  They talk via radio to
the base station, hence the antenna.  The base is corded, either to the
classic copper phone line or to a VOIP converter box (maybe in the ISP's
router).

  Just a minor, but important, comment: (Some/most/all?) DECT handsets
and base stations use *internal* antennas. So if you don't see an
antenna, that doesn't mean it can't be a DECT device, but also not that
it is a DECT device, because it *could* - but is not likely to - use
other cordless technology.
