Integrated networking lets voice and fax traffic ride with data and LAN traffic over wide-area communications links. Companies can reduce their telecommunica-tions costs by eliminating interoffice toll charges and voice tie lines.
Customers can reap the cost-saving benefits of integration without compromising voice quality.
High Bandwidth Efficiency Voice and fax traffic use minimal bandwidth, which frees more bandwidth for data and LAN communications traffic. This independent organization defines the standards for public telephone networks worldwide. After months of study, the ITU ratified a new voice compression standard called G.729 at their November 1995 Plenary Session. The algorithm delivers an exceptionally high level of voice quality with minimal delay. Bandwidth Savings ClearVoice technology packages G.729 speech frames to consume approximately 9 Kbps on a private leased line and 10.6 Kbps on a frame relay link, including overhead.
