Telecom Lead America: Sangoma Technologies Corporation, a
provider of hardware and software components, has launched its NetBorder
Transcoding Gateway.
The new gateway is the latest addition to the company’s
range of gateway appliances that serve enterprises worldwide.
Located in Ottawa, Canada, Versature has been beta
testing the NetBorder Transcoding Gateway in their network for a number of
weeks. The company said that Sangoma’s Transcoding Gateway provided them with a
powerful tool to satisfy the interworking needs of customers in a single
appliance.
“The ability to efficiently complete calls that use
disparate codecs without degrading voice quality is becoming increasingly
important to customers that rely on VoIP systems,” said Adam Sherman chief
technical officer of Versature, Inc. located in Ottawa, Canada
Furthermore, Adam Sherman said it allows their users to
benefit from the recent codec advancements in enhancing call quality and
reducing bandwidth without worrying about the complexities of codec
compatibility.
This new gateway facilitates the interconnection of Voice
over IP (VoIP) devices and networks with support for transcoding between
codecs-from low-bandwidth to High Definition (HD)-that are employed throughout
the rapidly growing enterprise communications landscape.
The new NetBorder Transcoding Gateway provides bandwidth savings in
interoffice VoIP and SIP trunking deployments with support for narrowband
G.723.1 and G.729 codecs.
“Transcoding operations are very processor
intensive and can completely cripple other functionalities in typical server
based systems. The use of a dedicated appliance mitigates these potential
impacts and efficiently delivers the transcoding that is becoming ever more
necessary as users take advantage of the benefits offered by the latest codec
technology today and going forward,” said Julien Nephtali, product manager
for Sangoma.
The Transcoding Gateway offers many options for
consistently high voice quality. In addition to the wide variety of narrowband codecs,
support for HD voice codecs such as G.722 and G.722.1 makes it possible for HD
and non-HD compliant devices to interoperate.
