The growing demand for High Definition (HD) provides a more ‘life-like’ experience - on TVs, PCs, and telephones. HD voice promises rich collaboration applications, whether it’s 1-to-1 phone calls or multi-party conferencing.
“HD voice improves the overall experience, quality and intelligibility of communication,” said Global IP Solutions’ Chief Marketing Officer Joyce Kim. “The end-user experience is the most important part of communication. Fricative sounds are easier to distinguish and different accents have clarity, which further enhances the life-like communication experience. As innovation pioneers in audio processing for more than 10 years, we see an industry eager to learn more about the potential and tangible economic benefits that HD voice offers.”
GIPS is synonymous with HD voice and developed the voice engines and codecs to overcome the inherent technical barriers of voice over IP (VoIP), which deliver the first-rate experience people have now come to appreciate. Consumers, Enterprises and SMBs are now in the driver’s seat, as telephony application developers, service providers, and equipment manufacturers are looking for ways to answer the growing demand for HD voice.
This paper examines the benefits of wideband codecs and describes the iSAC codec, a variable-rate wideband speech codec developed by Global IP Solutions (GIPS). The paper also addresses the vast potential of HD voice, its market implications, and the issues that can come with offering HD voice relevant for enterprises, equipment manufacturers, application developers, and service providers.
