similar to: Compare to Skype

Yesterday we moved one of our servers to a new IP. We updated DNS and various adapters configured to register to that server registered to the new IP correctly. All seemed to be well. This evening I discovered that with one exception, all of the adapters are getting a SIP/2.0 401 Unauthorized message back from asterisk. The exception is an Innomedia adapter -- Linksys PAP2's and (I

Hi, Is there any comparison made between Speex and iLBC free codec? How would they compare in terms of quality, bitrate and CPU utilization?

Hi, Pretty sure I'm missing something simple, but I've seen references to this feature but not found documentation for it: I have a queue set up so that many people are contacted (ringall) when a call comes in. I would like the answering party to confirm that he is a human being rather than cellphone voicemaill by pressing a digit. This is somewhat similar to the 2nd macro example

I've just gotten off a skype conference call and it pisses me off that the quality of skype is higher than my asterisk calls. Is there such a thing as a super high bandwidth codec? In a situation that you have the bandwidth to share is there something that I can use for important calls when the situation warrants it? TIA, Dean -------------- next part -------------- An

This Friday's edition of the weekly VoIP Users Conference call is all about wideband audio (aka HD Voice) and conferencing. The guest for this call is David Frankel, CEO of ZipDX a commercial service that specializes in wideband conferencing. We expect an interesting call touching on many aspects of VoIP going beyond the traditional phone service, conference bridges, technical standards,

Doing a little research before Friday's Voip Users Conference call with Dan Behringer. Are any of the newer Polycom wideband codecs implemented in v1.6? Specifically, G.722.1 or G.722.2?

before I accuse somebody to "overbill" I would like you to calculate with me: Rate: 0.0189 for calling Taiwan via NuFone Duration: 930 seconds Lets vote for the answers: 0.7269 or 0.2929 ??? bye Ronald Wiplinger

Michael Grave just posted a question about surround conferences. http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?id=564633430#/note.php?note_id=5009726 3908&id=564633430&index=0 I didn't see it posted on the ast-list, what do you think? Does something like this have potential? I'd love to listen in on one of these calls to see how it actually sounds if someone builds a trial

Hi, Given that the Digium transcoding card has no external connections (AFAIK), it strikes me that it would suit a mini-PCI slot very well. Does such a beast exist, or is it likely to? Am I correct in assuming that this is a Digium-only product, and there is no OEM equivalent "generic" board out there that I could be investigating? It would be such a shame to waste a PCI slot that

Hi All, So I've been exploring the use of G.722 encoded wideband audio recently. I have three different SIP devices that allow this: Eyebeam, IP650 and a Siemens S865IP. The Siemens and IP650 seems to work fine together. Calls pass between them in what the Polycom notes as "HD" mode and the audio quality is certainly very good. However, things are not so easy with Eyebeam and the

Hi, I wanted to follow up on this thread about WB support on the MeetMe bridge that is in 1.6.2. Does it only work for G722 or any WB codec ? I am working with another 16k WB codec that I can transcode to 722 and vice versa. I was curious if the 1.6.2 MeetMe bridge can also mix 722 with any other WB codec natively(without downscaling).

I missed the talk that was given on wideband codecs @ astricon last week. I tried to lookup the speaker on astricon.net, but that website seems horribly broken at the moment, showing only a tmcnet video, whatever page i click on. Would somebody have the contact details for that speaker ? Greetings, Zoa

Hi Everyone, 1- Are the Siren7 and Siren14 the G.722 HD voice codecs? 2- Are these codecs only for Polycom units or are they universal across all other SIP phones that advertise the HD voice codec like Aastra? 3- What is the main difference between the two and is it advisable to run these over the INTERnet (not INTRAnet)?

Hello Folks, I noticed that all of the IaxClient based softphones with exception of Firefly only seem to have support for GSM but what about iLBC? The quality is excellent with iLBC even on a dialup connection! Meanwhile while the audio on GSM often sounds scratchy. Is anyone looking to implement iLBC in an IaxClient based softphone soon?

I'm not an expert either, but I see people choosing iLBC over speex all the time with asterisk; partly it's because they have more market share in hardphones, and partly it's because of marketing and such. (another reason is that iLBC source is included in asterisk, and speex is only compiled in if you have the speex development stuff on your machine when you compile

FYI It looks like FWD is looking for value added service ideas for free as a volunteer. I think it will fail but we shall see. I really don't get the nerve of them (Free World Dialup has changed it's name to FWD) to ask for free ideas and development on a non-free service. Maybe if they can come up with a killer app and people will adopt it, then it might work, but then again, people

I'm a new Asterisk user. I've managed to set it up to do everything I want except sound good. Currently, Asterisk sounds considerably worse than my cell phone. I know VOIP can be _better_ than my cell phone, because I've heard Skype do it. (Using 32k iLBC, I believe.) I did an experiment with audio quality: 1) I made a recording which was pretty good. I used an iSight

On this weeks VUC call we will collectively be our own guests. That is, we'd like to know what was the big issue that impacted YOU in 2010? All opinions welcome. Here are a few things to get you thinking in advance: - Apple's Antenna-gate - Asterisk 1.8 Launches - Amazon EC2 as a DOS platform - Cisco launched UMI video conference device - More HDVoice capable phones - Skype Outage - VoIP

Has anyone here ever tried using a wifi bridge to place a deskset in someplace where there was no LAN drop? If so what hardware did you use and was it succesful?
