Ditech Networks Brings its Industry Leading Voice Quality Algorithms to Asterisk™MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- For over twenty years, Ditech Networks (News - Alert) (NASDAQ: DITC) has been providing voice quality solutions to the world's leading operators. Today those algorithms are also available to the millions of users of the Asterisk Open Source (News - Alert) Telephony Project. With voice, conversations often routed across multiple networks, and through multiple carriers, understanding and managing voice quality can be difficult. With Ditech Networks' VQA solution, voice quality just got easier. Using VQA's voice quality monitoring solution, an operator or administrator can pinpoint detailed issues within the voice path, including noise, echo, level mismatches, compression artifacts, packet delay and jitter. The VQA algorithms can then be applied to manage those artifacts and improve the user experience. In network tests, VQA has been shown to improve average voice quality by up to 0.5 MOS points, which translates into a much improved calling experience. "The Asterisk PBX (News - Alert) platform has had a profound influence on the evolution of the telecommunications industry, and it has facilitated web/telephony applications that would have been cost prohibtive if attempted on traditional telephony platforms," said Chad Madison, who led the VQA for Asterisk (News - Alert) initiative at Ditech Networks. "In the spirit of promoting software-based telephony excellence, Ditech Networks has ported its hardware-based voice quality algorithms, and created an easy to install software module for Asterisk."
