Comuniq ASA launches voice compression for IP-Telephony Rapid City, South Dakota/Stavanger, Norway-Aug. 16, 2000 This week Comuniq released voice compression and decompression software for IP-telephony applications. The voice codecs are designed around Texas Instruments C6000 series Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Texas Instruments (TI) is the world leader in the development and production of DSP s. Comuniq is an established partner in TI's 3rd Party Program. As a leading developer of voice codecs, Comuniq has boosted performance of compression and decompression methods for voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks. Comuniq's solution for the ITU standard G.729A/B codec is approximately 14 times faster than the average in the industry. Development and use of voice over IP is not as widespread as initially anticipated due to the latencies (time delays) inherent in IP telephony. Comuniq's fast codec solutions minimize algorithmic delay making voice over managed IP networks a reality. These optimized codecs can compress 60 voice calls simultaneously on a single compact PCI card, providing a highly scalable building block for VoIP applications. These applications, aimed primarily at enterprises and service providers, include public and private telephone networks, call centers, and unified messaging services. Comuniq offers the G.723.1 and G.729A/B codecs, both of which are prevalent in today's IP-telephony applications. As a separate business initiative, Comuniq has decided to market software licenses for the G.729A/B voice codec. Comuniq also offers an IP-Gateway solution that merges traditional telephony over the public switch network with IP-telephony over private networks. The
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) indicates that 25%-40% of
global telephony traffic will be routed through IP-gateways by the year
2004. A majority of large telecom providers predict that IP-telephony
will be the dominant telecommunication format by 2004. Comuniq,
with its unique blend of fast, optimized voice codecs and advanced DSP-based
hardware, is delivering the infrastructure of next generation telephony
- today! Trond
