Track: HD VOICE (HD)
|
HD Voice and Network Interconnection
(HD-01)
Wednesday - 09/02/09, 8:30-9:15am
With VoIP trunking becoming more common, the next step is for service providers to peer their networks through such services as the Voice Peering Fabric and Xconnect. When they do so they can not only often avoid settlement charges, but they can ensure that calls negotiate wideband codecs. This session is for service providers, and explains how they can use HD Voice as a differentiating benefit.

HD Voice and Wideband Codecs
(HD-02)
Wednesday - 09/02/09, 9:30-10:15am
Historically high-quality voice codecs have been compute intensive and complicated to license due to multiple ownership of intellectual property. This has now changed. Moore’s Law has made the compute requirements easily manageable, and several vendors have released state of the art royalty-free codecs, for example Polycom, Skype and Speex. This session explains the benefits of each.

(HD-03)
Wednesday - 09/02/09, 10:30-12:15pm
High-defintion voice is starting to take hold in the market, replacing the 50-year-old technology in the public switched telephone network (PSTN). As more vendors add support for wideband codecs we finally have the ability to experience the power of VoIP through HD voice and richer, fuller, crisper and clearer audio. Just as the HD television has changed forever how we watch television so will HD voice and how we communicate.
In this session we will discuss the benefits of HD voice services and how this higher quality of sound can be used to attract, retain and drive service providers’ success in a highly competitive marketplace where it is no longer sufficient to offer “me too” services.
Join us as our expert panel introduces the technical background, why end customers have expressed such strong interest in the capability and how HD VoIP likely will be deployed.
