Adding a new type in the choices should be sufficient. I could provide a PR, But I'm unsure whether this is a category on its own or part of the existing Wireless / Cellular.
My (admittedly very limited) understanding of DECT is that it is a communications standard rather than an interface type.

I would argue that it is an interface type and communication standard. It support similar features as Wifi/Cellular networks which are listed as interface types.

I that case, I would probably sort it into cellular:
TYPE_OTHER_WIRELESS = 'other-wireless'
# Cellular
TYPE_DECT = 'dect'
TYPE_GSM = 'gsm'

NetBox version
v3.7.2
Feature type
Data model extension
Proposed functionality
The interface type definition should be extended to allow for
DECT
interfaces.Use case
Currently, it is possible represent common DSL routers (e.g. AVM FRITZ!BOX 7590) in Netbox. However, interfaces that use the DECT standard can't be modeled. However, that would be helpful as DECT can be used:
To enable the modeling in all of these scenarios (foremost the machine-to-machine communication), Netbox should include a generic value
dect
.Database changes
The new value must be inserted in the
netbox/dcim/choices.py
.I'm not aware of any other changes.
