Germany : DT starts HD Voice transcoding [TendersInfo (India)](TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The British BT has talked a lot about performing HD voice transcoding for fun and profit. However, Deutsche Telekom (DT) is the first operator actually doing it for customers. In their case, in Germany across the company's broadband and 3G mobile networks. A DT representative said transcoding began on October 9, 2014. HD voice calls get translated in both directions between the G.722 broadband codec and the AMR-WB wireless codec. G.722 is utilized as the HD voice codec for DT's broadband voice service and is integrated into the CAT-iq 2.0 DECT cordless phone standard that DT supports, as well as on an iPhone SIP client for in-home Wi-Fi use. AMR-WB is utilized in both 3G networks and in 4G LTE networks as a part of Voice over LTE. DT is presently supporting HD voice on its 3G network and is yet to announce a date on when it will deploy VoLTE on its LTE network. (c) 2014 Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
